Free bees are always a crap-shoot, even at best.  However, they are far better than no bees at all!

Here's hoping they winter well and can be moved to a hive come spring.
Swarm of bees in may is worth a load of hay
swarm of bees in june is worth a tune
swarm of bees in july aint worth a fly

 >:D
Lol yes yes but that's a saying about catching a swarm right? This is about the kit and caboole.

 John, the place looks great. You done good, son! That circular drive will be very helpful and cut down a little on the mowing.  ;)

Thanks guys, Going to be testing some of the systems out this week and friday we have our first event planned with a blacksmith, Raku firing, and a guy that can do some cool sculptural welding stuff, and some flint knapping.

I had a lot of input from a lot of people and took elements "on a micro scale" from twin oaks. I had a lot of help from neighbors, friends, Bowers, ceramic potters and many others during the last 1.5 years. I did a lot of drawing and ask lot of questions.
