Bees & Seeds

Yesterday I spent my time learning about permaculture and beekeeping. We spent the morning listening to a presentation on each & then headed to a nearby home to look at how they've set up a permaculture garden, complete with bees, chicks, swales with raised beds and a hempcrete building. I'm going to split it into 2 posts as the bee post will be pretty picture heavy.

Bees & Seeds II

I got to look at three sets of bees... two were in topbar hives and the third was a package of bees (that was sent via mail!) that we watch being put into a new hive.
