I’ve started a blog to record my Bee Progress.

I finished the book First Lessons in Beekeeping that I received with my order from Brushy Mountain Bee Farm. This is a very very good book and answered almost all of my questions. I am alarmed at the risk in beekeeping, though. There is much that can go wrong with bees.

I am getting nervous about my upcoming bee run. I have found another bee seller that might still have bees (BetterBee is out of bee packages and nucs). If they are still taking orders I will get more than one colony as a backup. I am keeping its name secret though, until I get my order confirmation.

By the way, I am convinced that the Brushy Mountain starter hive setup was quite a deal. If bought separately, the setup would have cost quite a bit more than what I paid.
