Scrap wood bee hives and a BEE Update!
Here is a quick update of my bee project where I caught 4 bee swarms this spring and relocated them into 4 DIY scrap wood top bar bee hives. The hives are a bit junky and I'm still very new to beekeeping but so far the bees seem like they are doing well and growing!
I've made a LOT of mistakes as you'll see, but my main goal was to see if I could get into beekeeping on the cheap.. and I mean cheap! Currently, my only direct expense has been a smoker... I'm borrowing my suit from my wife uncle and the rest has been salvaged from supplies/materials I had on hand:) Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions... or tips!
