As Promised!

What on earth is this thing?

The way they're snapping pictures, I must be pretty cute in it!

Here we are! I labeled the picture to help y'all out. The lovely little dear modeling the veil is my sister. She was happy to oblige.

My dad is going to build the beehives, and we now have all of the wood needed for the frames, and the wax foundation! Hive-top feeders do just that - feed the bees before the nectar flow is strong.

Queen excluders go between the hive bodies to keep the queen from laying eggs in the harvestable honey. And of course, the smoker and veil will keep the bees from stinging me to death!
