Hive Relocated!

Originally I had my hive set up in a low lying valley near fenced in garden- to keep the horses away. I have since realized that I needed to move the hive to a higher elevation away from the cold and moist air of the valley. They have had no problems adjusting to the new location...I have read that you should place some brush, slightly covering their entrance when moving your hive so the will reorient themselves when exiting for the first time.

2 Years of Beekeeping!

I cannot believe I have beekeeping for two years now- fighting off inexperience and a horrible East Texas drought, my bees appear to be well off. I have decided to begin documenting my hive's progress and I hope all continues to go well.....So far so good :-)
