Why Bees????

Last summer (2009) a swarm of bees moved into the eave of our house, just outside our bedroom. We watched them with interest all summer. They seem to love the flower gardens and the mountain air. A friendly professional bee-keeper helped extract them from the eave in late summer. He had interest in finding a location for a mountain apiary site. We agreed that he would bring some of his hives to the mountain and I would start my own bee hives. I decided I wanted to become a bee-keeper!
