Honey Bees Have Arrived
I wanted to add bees to the farm this year so I ordered a beehive this winter and used it as the model to make two additional hives. When you start beekeeping you typically order a 3 lb package or a nuc. I placed an order for 3 packages for delivery in late March but the supplier had problems meeting his demand so I ended up having to look elsewhere. Luckily I found a source locally and was able to pick up my packages yesterday. I installed the packages late yesterday evening and everything seemed to go well. I will check on the bees this afternoon and will check again this weekend to make sure the queen is out of her cage. It was hard to photography while in a beesuit and while busy installing the packages, but I will be posting more soon with new photos, more info on bees and beekeeping, etc.

Can't wait to see what the result will look like!
Are you adding anything else to the farm?
Lovely picture.
Good thing you already have your honeybees. You will surely get lots of benefits from it.
