TBA Conference: My 1st!
This past weekend was exciting. The TBA conference was a special treat (TY CBees.)
I would say that I have learned a lot, but the absorbtion of so much knowledge will take some time. (like years!)
It was wonderful to glean from some ole' timers and experts.
Friday, the new beekeeper's class was filled to standing room only! (Where were my fellow newbies from Mont. Co?! hmmm) There were several retirees, couples, ladies, men, and a few young children. Our pres… Continue

Feeders for the Fall
New Bee Owners (soon to bee Beekeepers). If you haven't already purchased your feeders for the Fall; now would bee a good time to place your order.

I personally prefer the one made by BeeMax. It is an insulated one piece feeder that is very sturdy and easy to clean. With the application of insula
