This is wonderful advice for those of us thinking of getting into bee's in the future. At the moment we only have wild bee's in the corn crib but one day we may just have a hive of our own. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us. I feel for your hubby...my hubby has had two back surgeries also ...the last one in the early 90's. He's doing fine but has learned to deal with the bad days when he over-does it or there is a change in barometric pressure. By the way that's a good looking wood pile! Have a wonderful Thursday :)<br />MauraMaura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-586394728154947567.post-44516747749411848472011-09-28T11:47:30.952-05:002011-09-28T11:47:30.952-05:00That was great ~ I sent the link to My Brian.

That color is amazing.<br /><br />A million years ago when I had bee hives and did a lot of jelly making, I remember putting a little display of jars on the kitchen counter...black raspberry jelly, honey, red raspberry jelly, etc. (anything clear) and putting white Christmas lights behind the jars. It was the most beautiful stained glass effect...and your jar of honey reminded me of that!<br /><br />Thanks for a beautiful memory.<br /><br />And for sharing your adventures!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462124067637610359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-586394728154947567.post-54879090640537966692011-09-27T19:42:42.456-05:002011-09-27T19:42:42.456-05:00Wow!

I'm so glad to see others getting honey... my first year of beekeeping was a sad one, but I learned a valuable lesson and will try again next year, Lord willing. A friend who started with me had mercy on me and brought me a jar today from her extraction. What a sweetie!<br /><br />And look at your firewood!!! Woo hoo!!
