Plan Bee

After 2 years in the planning we can finally begin! Very excited to put these plans into action! The equipment has all arrived and we have a designated spot in the middle of the meadow with an abundance of wild flowers and trees - couldn't be better for the bees! We have put up a protective shelter so that sticks and branches from the trees don't fall on the hives, and our Queen Bee is on order. She will be transported safely in a small polystyrene hive when she is ready, along with a thousand or so of her follower bees. This is called a "nuc" and is how every hive starts off.
