Getting stung in the eye isnt what I was wanting to check off my list this evening lol. Just got done mowing and noticed I hadn't put my bricks back on a hive lid. Thought I'd get away with it, and probably would have on any of my other hives... Not this one, this one is a tad over defensive. I knew that already too... lol now have a puffy eye 😉

Today, a new beekeeper is getting his start! With a little guidance from me, some friends of ours and their little guy are getting into beekeeping. He even bid on his own package of bees today! This is going to be so fun to watch him hopefully fall in love with bees and possibly take this experience into adulthood. Thanks to his parents for trusting in me to teach him! Just one of the many sweet rewards of being a beekeeper! Welcome to beekeeping Walker! Melissa Barrett

Thanks to Central Iowa Beekeepers Association and Spring Valley Honey Farms! Connie, I'll get some video for you tomorrow of him installing his new package!
