Honey Bees Arrive

So excited that we have decided to raise bees. My husband has been building an area for the bees, that will offer some protection from the cold/wind. He is also getting the hive ready.

We have opted to get hives that are constructed for winter weather. The polystyrene is supposed to allow for less heat loss during the winter.

 

The bees have arrived, my hubby is suited up and is transferring them to the hive. Quite a stressful process, I imagine that we will be more comfortable as we interact more and more with the bees. Until then full suit is worn!
