We are into our second year as beekeepers and it has been a ride!
The apiary was started with 10 hives in May of 2016. Nick and I were completely new to all this but that didn't scare us. In the first year we tried to learn as much as we could, joined the Trinity Valley Beekepers Associaton, and quickly got over our fears of being stung. (Well at least he has)
Our apiary currently consists of 16 hives and hope to continue expanding. Our main focus is to grow our apiary and help educate people about these amazing little creatures.
We have a newfound love and appreciation for our little pollinators, and hope to spread awareness about the preservation of bees.
