So we will wait, read and maybe take a few trips up to this lovely place to visit the bees.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-32765246917153147522012-07-23T19:10:35.518-04:002012-07-23T19:10:35.518-04:00Our neighbor has several hives, and it's so fu...Our neighbor has several hives, and it's so fun to watch her!

The bees were really nice, only stung the bee keeper three times and no one else got stung.<br /><br />I bet you will find one, from my experience with farmers, bee keepers, chicken keepers...they love to share their knowledge and expertise with those of us who want to learn :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-152013431862198242012-07-21T22:49:00.440-04:002012-07-21T22:49:00.440-04:00I love that the class was full of women. :) maybe ...I love that the class was full of women. :) maybe there is a little bit of bee keeper in all of us ladies. :) Can't wait to hear more about your upcoming adventures with the bees!!!!aka Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689003623617230351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-37411299155119716922012-07-20T12:54:21.847-04:002012-07-20T12:54:21.847-04:00How incredibly exciting!

Now you've got me thinking about seeing if there's a local beekeeper in the area who would do the same.
