Bee Man

For years my husband wanted to have a hive or two of bees. His job often took him all over the world so it really wasn't realistic for him to follow his wish. About a year after he retired that wish came true. After about two years he acquired another hive and was beginning to have a loyal following for his honey. Last year something struck his best hive and he lost the whole colony. He put in his order for two more and received them this Spring. Then, his old colony swarmed, twice, he was able to capture one of the swarms so now he has four hives. So far we are not oozing honey from the eaves of our house, but we do have some good honey.
