The Keeping of the Bees

Part two of intro to honeybees! This week we actually get into the act of beekeeping. First we cover the types of hives and equipment you will need. We help you choose, obtain and install your new bees. And lastly, we help you with a basic maintenance routine.

This week’s shout out goes to Bees4Vets in Nevada! How fitting, right? They are uniting bees and our veterans to create quite the symbiotic relationship. We love it. Find them at https://bees4vets.org
