Bee Keeping

I was finally able to start beekeeping 3 years ago and I absolutely love it! Fresh natural honey, wax for candles are just a couple of many things the bees can provide you. I could spend hours sitting by the hives watching them. Here is a picture of setting up a new hive of bees.

Hi Laura,
How much space do you think is necessary for beekeeping? Do you have any pointers for someone wanting to start up?

Nice. I have two hives right now and will probably split one next year. Laura, you need only the space to put the hives, but if you have neighbors near, you might want to make sure they know, in case they are fearful or allergic.
