Beekeeping

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!
