MY FIRST HIVE!!!

What a blessing!

Actually, this is just a nuc, but I've got a hive too. A couple of friends contributed to us getting our first colony of bees here, so we are moving on to the next chapter of our lives... as beekeepers. The cool thing about having bees is that they'll swarm and then you can add to your bee collection. Some friends of ours wanted about six hives, and then after some of them swarmed, they ended up with thirteen different colonies, so they offered us one. To get a free colony of bees is a huge blessing.

Now, we'll have to figure things out as we go. We've done some research, but obviously more will be required, and we'll get plenty of hands on experience too! I've got to switch them from the nuc to a actual hive shortly, hopefully without getting stung. I think @craigcryptoking will be happy to hear the news!
