The package bees were shaken today in Chico, California for the trip to Stillwater. The truck will leave Friday afternoon and with good weather will be here Sunday, in the morning. We are hoping for safe travels and good weather.

This blog is for beekeepers in Northern climates. I will be describing what I am doing with my bees on a monthly schedule. Copying any text or photos is forbidden except with written authorization of the author.

This blog explains how I keep bees. It works for me, it might not work for you. Use my methods at your own risk.
Always wear protective clothing and use a smoker when working bees.
