BEES!

Jul 26, 2007 22:27

I have a beehive now! I have much gratitude to Bill and Holly for this.

Thank you, you two.

You made a really rough week about a thousand times better.

Ah, the tricky words fail us on lj. Beehive can refer to either the actual colony of living critters, IE: BEES, or it can refer to the box where they live and is home to them.

In the case I wrote about above, Bill and Holly found a local beekeeper who is moving and selling off his active hive (box + bees). So right now I have about 80,000 new backyard neighbors.

You are going to be kept very busy giving them each a name...

I've wanted a beehive ever since I was a child.

Looking over Atlanta's beekeeping laws there seems to be no restrictions about it. You can get into beekeeping for about $250 total. That would include gear, hive body and bees...

Lemme know if you want to get into it, I can send you all sorts of websites.

I know that you mean an actual beehive, but for just a second, I thought of you with REALLY big hair. lol

I have a photo of me with a pompadour from about 9 years ago, does that count?

gothkittyn July 27 2007, 19:10:26 UTC

yeah, I think so, pretty much the same era. ;)

Perfect. I'll dig it up and make an icon!

oh my gosh, that's really exciting Alexarc!!!! maybe someday I can get some honey from you!!! :D

Did you build it? See, I told you the weekend would make up for it. I hope it continues to be so well. Take care!

ps, you should post a picture of it, for those from afar who can't come see it in person. :)

cheapdialogue July 28 2007, 03:43:00 UTC

I'll try to get pics up!

Take care, you!

I too have been a wannabeekeeper for decades. Yes, decades. For now, though, I'm thrilled by being foster mom to a mason bee block. It has 7 cells filled with baby bee eggs, I'm so excited!
Congrats on your honey-ones!

I can always use extra stuff for beekeeping...
