We currently have one hive of Russian honeybees here on the farm, after losing one this winter - probably because of a queen dying.

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....
