March 29th, what a day. I had secured 2 packages to help numbers, and not split as many colonies, and I found out I was now a Grandpa. . Baby Oakley was born a little early, but he is perfect.
For the Bees, they're starting to build up. I think overall the yard is going to expand out nicely. This is prep towards a busy Spring.

Below are Links to some of the Equipment and Products that I use in the Apiary at Castle Hives. Looking for the best wax dipped boxes on the market, try Wax Dipped Boxes from Nature's Image Farm. Look no further than Lorob Bees for your Vaporizer, amazing customer service and products. Looking for a supplement, try Hive Alive. The number 1 rated supplement. Use code BRIAN10 to get 10% off HiveAlive supplement and HiveAlive fondant. Looking for an Insulated Hive, look no further than Apimaye.
