HOw To SIX DAYS TO THE BEEKEEPING CLASS

Honey
Well, the countdown has begun...6 days until I am suited up in my protective gear and I'm playing with bees!  Well, OK, maybe not "playing with", but certainly getting my first ever hands on experience with them.  To say I'm not nervous would be a lie, but hey, we all have to make that first step.  The lady tells me they've taught dozens of these classes and no one has ever been stung.  I should knock on wood as I type this.  Or maybe SHE should, ha.

Nerves aside, I am very much looking forward to it.  It will be a new life experience, that's for sure.  And if I'm comfortable with it, I think in another year or so, we could very well have honey from our own hive on a regular basis out at Seda Bolsa Farm...I wouldn't mind a shelf like this in the mudroom full of the delicious nectar!


For those following my blog, be sure and check in Saturday afternoon/evening and get the full details...
