- About me:
- The name of my urban homestead is "7 Heavenly Hens GARDEN". We grow a variety of fruits , vegetables and flowers and raise chickens. Honey bees are now part of the GARDEN.
I started with my first hive in August 2014 - my warrre hive was gifted to me and so was my 1st colony (from a cut-out).
My 1st hive is a Warre . My approach to beekeeping is a natural/sustainable and holistic one. I plan to add two more Warre hives during the spring of 2015.
- My bee hives are primarily located here (ZIP code):

Review / recommend this book ?
Can anyone recommend/comment on the book "The Practical Beekeeper, Beekeeping Naturally" ?
I have come across the book and associated website. I'm new to beekeeping - plan to start hives in the spring of 2015, so I'm trying to locate good sources of reading material.
Thanks - Sam

Sam-
I left a comment somewhere and not sure where so I am doing it again. I needed some feedback on these top bars- pine_warre_top_bars_ea5ae41a-c67f-4ca0-a3a5-e213ec47f4d2_2000x.jpg
Do I need to wax them or will they be ok without in my warre?
Hello Sam,
Thank you again for showing us your hive and letting us share in your inspection. Thank you also for the starters, I am very excited to get them in the ground.
Thank you,
Mike and Tina Stallard

Hi Sam!
It was great meeting you and your family Sunday. I really enjoyed talking with you and seeing your chickens and garden. I was thinking, I don't know if I will get around to keeping bees in the Warre and if you would like it it is yours. It does need work as it came unassembled, but I would rather see it go to someone who will use it as opposed to just sitting in my yard until I get around to it. Let me know if you would want it.
Take Care,
Christina
