Beginning in Bee Keeping~

I'm so excited to start this local class tomorrow evening~
It's offered as one of our community education classes.
There was a cool gluten free baking class I also wanted to take,
but it's the bee one this time!
Hopefully we'll be able to start up our own hives this year~

My husband tended to bees with his uncle for years and then we tried it last year, but with the drought in our area, the bees either found a new home or something. One day he would love to try the bees again. (it would be nice if everything was green and wet again)So glad to hear that you are trying the beekeeping adventure. I pray you have great success. And the reward is.... well delicious! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. Have a blessed week,

A change of seasons~

Where we live, in our mountain home, the seasons are changing.  Already we have had snow dust the mountains more than once this fall....
