Updated Bee news
One of my hives is doing pretty good and has filled 3 frames full of honey. This year's honey will be for the bees to eat over winter.
Hopefully next year I'll have a full box of honey for me.
It's officially summer with the kids out of school now. I got some books at the library to read by the pool.
How did I just now find this.
So gooooooood.

Accountability time: I will start creating my next blog post starting today!!
And now, a cute pic of one of my bees with pollen leg warmers.
Learning more about bees. There is so much to know.
It's time for me to go back to my hives soon and check on the colonies. I am going to make a check list of things I should look for.
I am a bit anxious 'cause it's all so new.
I had the help of a bee expert transferring them from two cardboard boxes to the two hives today.
As soon as she left, I felt a sense of, oh no!! Now i have to do this on my own.
The training wheels are off my friends.
I am now a beekeeper.
With a bit of work, I now have the hive boxes sitting in their new garden.
The garden host has an amazing garden that I think the bees will love.
Next Saturday I will get the bees!

Hike from this past Saturday.
I only realized just now this was happening so I missed out on today.
Starting early with 4am pst tomorrow.
Lots of note taking will be had.
Long hike completed yesterday and probably the last chance to see wildflowers before they dry up soon.
Some bee news!
I found a generous homeowner who will let me keep bees in their backyard.
Also..
It isn't too late for me to buy a nuc of bees from a local beekeper.
Next: order bees and buy my boxes and equipment!!
This is really happening.

When I started my self studies his name comes up everywhere for SEO. It wasn't until I started hanging out on Twitter that I learned of his tactics. But there's no exact explanation.
I need a full history lesson, please.
I reference him in a blog post.
Thank you for your service
