Hens in the Hood

[uptowngirl]

we went to see the bee lady today too, it was fabulous. She has hundreds of thousands of bees, we tasted several different honey and honey combs, we had homemade honey dressing that was fantastic, and some home made mead that could curl you hair. We are going back for classes and she said she will be harvesting honey and honey comb next week and we are invited...I cannot wait to take these classes, raise my own bees, and make mead '-)

Bee keeping is awesome..it's pretty easy. With a bit of reading anyone can do it. It's not an expensive hobby at all and we have a great suipplier right here in jax...i just pulled about 40 lbs last week...have'nt made mead yet but what fun.

We put a hive in at the community garden this past spring.  They spent most of the season building their brood and just in the past few weeks moved up into the first honey super.  Hoping to get some honey in a few weeks!
