Welcome - Explore my Blog

I've been keeping this blog for all of my beekeeping years and I am beginning my 19th year of beekeeping in April 2024. Now there are more than 1300 posts on this blog. Please use the search bar below to search the blog for other posts on a subject in which you are interested. You can also click on the "label" at the end of a post and all posts with that label will show up. At the very bottom of this page is a list of all the labels I've used.

Even if you find one post on the subject, I've posted a lot on basic beekeeping skills like installing bees, harvesting honey, inspecting the hive, etc. so be sure to search for more once you've found a topic of interest to you. And watch the useful videos and slide shows on the sidebar. All of them have captions. Please share posts of interest via Facebook, Pinterest, etc.

I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here.Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

    Hi Linda
    You know my comment here...;)
    But just for the record, and maybe for others reading this who believe everything they read on the web "DON'T"!!!
    In this list, anywhere you read the word "bee" delete it.
    e.g. "in Danish is bibee" ignore the "bee" or " in french - abeillebee" ignore "bee".

    As always, Linda, you put so much time and energy into this blog! You are really inspiring! Keep it up.
    (Can't wait until you link my blog to yours)

    Hi Warren,
    I've fixed the translations - thanks for the help and you are so right about not depending on the Internet although most of the time it's quite helpful! I've also added your blog to my blog list - it's a great blog. I love your pictures.

    Hi Linda, thought you might like to add the Maori (indiginous language of NZ) word for bee to your list, it is `Pi' with the accent on the `i'.
    We have a number of small native bees but had to import Apis mellifera to pollinate the European settlers` food crops in the late 1800`s.

    If you want, you can add the translation for bee in Tagalog (one of the native languages of the Philippines).

    bee - pukyutan

    I didn't see bees while I was there, but I wasn't looking either (I wasn't yet a beekeeper).

    Kawayanan (Tagalog for grove of bamboo)
