Sweet! This is good news for me! xD My neighbors have two hives and I actually just found out they're moving!! So maybe I might have to get  a hive to keep the cherries and flowers and such pollinated!!! (:

These are videos of two different chicks hatching. Kevin and Boo. One is a slide show. (:

Make sure you really read up on beekeeping and be very sure it is something you are willing to do! It is a very expensive and time-consuming hobby, albeit very rewarding should you choose to do it smile.png

No chickens right now, but between Jamison and Samson I have my hands full anyways!

 

Living our life in Sacramento and planning for our future. It's hard to believe it can get better than this

The bees do all the work and once or twice a year you collect the honey. You don't have to feed a hive. What's the big expense once you buy or build a box and buy some bees. You need a net suit (for lack of a better name) and a smoker.

Is your neighbor willing to help you after he moves?
