Fantastic blog Al!!! I'm enjoying every new entry. The more you post the more I'm riveted. How I wish I'd been allowed to have a couple of hives here but at least I can live vicariously through yours.

 Thank You. I surely would bee looking into finding a place to keep bees in some area near my home if not allowed to keep them on the property. Of course we do have 3 out yards at the present time. For 7 hives in one yard the land owner gets a gallon of honey about 12 pounds value is about $32.00 here in the states. Another yard with 5 hives the land owner asked for just a pint about a pound an a half value is $5.00 US funds.
The last yard has one hive and the owner gets a pint. Reason being is he has two children and we are going to place more hives there this spring.

Hi Al , you sure have a sweet life  keeping bees has been an intention of mine for years but like lots things it gets put back  til later and later. Are you only doing this 3 / 4 years ? One of my late departed friend s kept bees for years and was always trying to get me interested , alas to no avail . Your blog is very good and always informative . Maybe this is the incentive I need  Bugs

A couple of hive is a nice start. Cost can be a factor,as some one said recently to me. It isn't cheap. If one lived close enough to a supply house so shipping of things didn't add in I think you could get a couple of hives going for about
$200.00 US funds.
