Very nice.
What kind of boxes are those? Commercial or did you make them?
They don't look like 10 frame equipment either.
-
I think your husband deserves a case of beer or his favorite bevarage for all that hard work. I think that project turned out wonderfull and thanks for sharing.
p.s. Is this the same place were some wild bees stung someone not to long ago?
-
LOL, that should be renamed the "sting yard"...if you notice there are 2 empty cinder block foundations where the new packages will go.
The equipment is 8 frame, and was given to me last year before I knew about mediums and the like. If the bees survive just fine, I will have 2 all medium 8 frame hives, and 2 hives with deep broods and med or shallow honey supers.
That's the human plan, don't know what the bees have planned...LOL

What a beautiful bee yard. I can't wait until your bees arrive. Please post photos when they arrive. After you hive them or even when hiving them. That should be fun.
I am very happy for you and totally understand your feelings about this wonderful hobby we have.
Sincerely
Annette

Beautiful! Makes me long for summer seeing all the plants. Your bees have a nice place to call home.
-
You are all too kind,
Thank you so..And yes the hubby really did a great job, considering this is more ""my" hobby than his...I think his hobby, is building stuff for my hobbies HAHA
-
Sharon, wow!!! You got a very, very beautiful apiary there. Your Husband really did a fine job, and I am not kidding. Looking at the craftmanship that went into that piece of work was something else. My hat off to him!!! What a gorgeous little knoll on the hill.
Your bees will love to live there, not a doubt in my mind, beauty and thank you for sharing this with us. Have a most wonderfully awesome day. Cindi

Gosh, what a beautiful space - your bees should be really happy.

Thanks again, I am truly humbled...I needed a flat work area, and I got one. Makes it much easier to work with the bees, and I can look out my kitchen and front room window to peek in on them too... Yay!
-
I'm jealous. I'm always having to figure out how to level them...

Ah Michael...looks pretty level to me...lucky duck!

Great job Sharon. Since the bees will be happier I am sure they will up the rent a bit this year for you! BTW it looks more like a 2 beer case job.

Ohhhhhh . . . it is so lovely. I'll post pictures as soon as mine is finished. We have a lot of work to do before our bees arrive in two weeks, but it has been raining a lot. It's good for the new lawn and the clover I planted, but doesn't help getting out there preparing the bee yard.
-
Fantastic looking!
-
Oh boy, Sharon!!
That IS really NICE!! :)
That looks like "Bee Heaven!"
It also reminds me of a "Monument" to bee keeping!
Kind of like the Washinton Monument!
All it needs is a bronze plaque commemorating the site!
The rest of your yard looks really nice too. Tell your husband That i think he did a GREAT job on this bee yard!
your friend,

OOOOhhh thank y'all...I get started on that bronze plaque :lol:
-
I have a bronze historical plaque next to my front door...It says,"On This Site in 1891 Nothing Happened".
Cool, huh?
your friend,
john
