Well the wife is right. I have been a little slack updating the blog, but I have been extremely busy between work and trying to get ready for our new additions to the family. Nooooooo it's not a baby, well it is 12,000 baby bees. That's right 12,000! And they will grow to more than 50,000 by the time summer gets here. I am getting into the world of beekeeping to help increase our garden and flower productions. Also, as a by-product we will sell the honey and I will make beeswax candles and other products from the hive. Here is a picture of our first hive! Below you will see that I made our first batch of 5 votive beeswax candles and they turned out wonderful! I will blog about how easy that is next and the next mold that I will use has EVERYTHING to do with our new beekeeping adventure!

Stay tuned for more adventures from the hive!
