Early April Tasks

Took advantage of the warm weather today and got some fun stuff done at the community garden.

gave the existing hive some water...bees drinking from cotton fabric draped in a bowl of clean water

built my first hive bodies and gave them three coats of varnish...bees to arrive in a few weeks...Ross Murphy is my bee expert with about 20 years of experience.

old honeycomb that can either be harvested or used to start a new hive

4x8 raised bed in the community garden...planted my broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage seedlings and seeded six squares of Sugar Ann sweet peas and six+ squares of several types of beets (Early Wonder, Flat of Egypt, Detroit Red, Ruby Queen)
