Getting ready for the small beehive

Paul has been talking about getting bees for a while now. Worried about our small backyard and having a beehive so close to Eli’s sandbox, Paul decided to get two beehives. One large hive that will go in his parent’s yard and a small hive to go in our yard.

After researching the hive he wanted he finally purchased it and has been waiting for the snow to melt to get things ready.

This beehive will be mounted on a pole. So they dug the hole, positioned the pole, and poured in the cement.

My boys are having fun!

Lots a lot of work ahead to prepare the beehives for the bees arrival. Apparently the weather is still too cold for them. The weather needs to be around 60′ and it’s still in the 50’s. Hopefully we will get the bees the first part of May.
