[Luv2shoot]

This was so interesting. Several years ago, about 5-6, my brother's kids bought their father a hive and bee starter kit. My brother took a class and has been hooked ever since. He lives in Colorado Springs and now has two hives in his backyard. He gets honey galore and saves them in quart mason jars to give to his kids and friends. He loves sharing stories about his bees, his successes, and his problems. This is the first year that the bees made it through the winter. It gets real cold in his area and this year he wrapped the hives in insulation and a heater. He is so happy that the bees survived. It is very interesting and exciting that you actually get HONEY from the bees' hard work. And yes, we all need bees.

Peter, tell us more about your bees. Do you have a hive nearby?

I think I will post some photos that my brother sent me in Saturday's daily.
