For those of you that have been following our build process, you know that we purchased land for our dream home a couple years ago. We have been slowly working towards making our vision a reality.

Bee Keeping Dreams
When Bethany was student teaching, I believe it was around 1997, we took her class to a local farm and enjoyed a tour that included a visit to a bee hive. That was the first time I witnessed in person the simplicity and rewards of bee keeping. I knew right then that someday I would have a bee colony of my own and that I would learn the ins and outs of bee keeping. We are still several years away from realizing our goal of bee keeping and enjoying raw honey created in our backyard so for now we will have to settle for locally grown honey from Bread Beckers in Woodstock, GA. This post is really just a placeholder for that dream. Check back here in the future for a detailed explanation of everything it takes to get a bee colony started and pics of the whole process.
