We currently have one hive of Russian honeybees here on the farm, after losing one this winter - probably because of a queen dying. While Colony Collape Disorder hasn't affected us directly, we certainly have felt its effects second-hand, and have been unable to rpelace our older queen or our lost hive this season. Our one hive, however, is thriving, and we'll be pulling honey in a few weeks.

Our hives and equipment came from Betterbee , where we also traveled for an excellent beekeeping workshop. Our bees came from E&M Gold , our friends, Mary and Ed, who keep bees commercially just down the road. We are having a great time attending workshops, meetings, and even the annual auction of our local beekeeping organization....
