Beginning the Beekeeping Journey


Beekeeping is something that has been tickling my mind for awhile... just like keeping chickens. Perhaps it's been the joy of keeping chickens; perhaps it's the problems we've had (personally and in our area in general) with pollination; or perhaps it's the fact that bees are in so much danger.

Beekeeping- just seems like the right thing to do.

A disclaimer: Since I am a beginner, I may use the wrong terms at times in this and future posts. This is my attempt share my experience from the beginning on my journey of learning. I am by no means an expert, but I will attempt to share all the tidbits of information I collect along the way.

This winter I decided that I would dedicate 2017 to learning about beekeeping. Chickens were easy. It was an easy thing to pick up and learn along the way (still learning, actually). Bees... well, let's just say that chickens aren't an endangered species, I want to know what the heck I'm doing before making the complete dive into the hive. I want to do right by them.
