Bees.... Part 2

Fast forward to 2008. It was late spring when my brother Kelly asked Dad and I if we were interested in starting up bees again.. He had just watched a show on TV about bees and beekeeping and although he was very young when Dad had the hives, he remembered it. Because it was too late to start up we decided to try for the next spring.

February 2009 we placed an order for two, five pound boxes of bees and started to prep the hives. Late March, Dad and I drove to Salt Lake City and picked them up. Two new hives were arranged at the back of Kelly's property out in the country. The weather that year was amazing. Warm, sunny, mild wind. Perfect for bees. They did very well and produced lots of honey. We harvested almost 7 gallons of the very best, lightest honey we had every had.
