The bees are buzzing in the trees

The bee on the right is a Carniolan*

Well, I did it. I just ordered us two packages of Carniolan honey bees. Which means that, in about two months, we will have two hives going. I'm super excited to be finally starting on this project, after talking about it for a few years now. I'm off to do some reading, to get ready for my bees!
