I thought my first packages of bees would arrive on or around 25 April, but I got a call today saying they will be ready next Monday! That means I have lots of work to do between now and then to get the frames put together and installed.

While I’m very happy they are coming early, the downside is that it’s pushed up my plans so much I have not had time to chronicle what all we’ve done in preparation thus far.

If I have a chance, I’ll try to post some more this later this week.
