This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. ...there's still so much to learn.

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.
Trying to establish Queen Castle Nucs is a Challenge
This inspection was full of problems (including a bad mic in the first segment resulting in cutting some of the video). Here it is nonetheless, because all beekeepers have not the greatest days sometimes, so I'm glad to share.
The hive will be alright. Both of the hives at the garden look like hives that have swarmed. I saw queen cells in each of the hives and they will be fine. Meanwhile there is a laying queen in at least one of the queen castle nucs.

Oh noes! Will the hive be all right? Will the queen find her way home? Please don't leave us hanging for too long!
