RE: New Family at the Garden of the Goats
Yes, I own them. I bought them from the teenage son of a friend who decided he didn't want to keep bees anymore. As far as checking them, I've left them alone since I got them. I'll probably suit up and check them out in a few days just to see how everything looks. As of now they are coming and going so I assume they are ok.
One of the neat things in checking them was trying to find the queen. Bee keepers that have been doing it for a while can generally spot them easier, but it's pretty neat to see the queen going around laying eggs and having the workers follower her around.
I'm anxious to get into it. I plan to take pics and do a post. Maybe I can get one of my kids to play photographer.
