Harvest and Other Interesting Bee Stuff

Another Harvest

Jaimi and I harvested two bars from the Kois Farm West Hive on Saturday.  They've been so productive and have about 15 full bars of honey so we decided a little for us was ok.  It only made about 2 quarts but that should be enough to share with a few friends who helped us build the hives.

I'll put up some photos and videos shortly.

Brown Palace Bees

I saw a comment on a friends blog about the Brown Palace Bees in Denver.  Pretty cool idea.  I know in other cities including Chicago and New York there's a number of rooftop apiaries.  Here's a link to the Brown Palace's:
