It has taken me about 4 weeks to complete the fence. It has been rainy here in Virginia.
I have also had to cut down a few trees. I didn't want Mr Bear to climb the tree and hop down into the bee yard and have a feast.
I found most of my ideas from Scientific Beekeeping. You can read the article here.
I am up to 8 hives at my house. Soon they will make the trek back to the World Headquarters of Gees Bees.
So nice to see your new hobby... so important. Looking forward to following your progress.
