RancherMan & I love raising cattle, and we added chickens to the mix because they’re so much fun and, you know, EGGS

But we were wondering what (if anything) we’d like to add to our current barnyard fun. We’d tried raising goats but that just wasn’t for us. But then RancherMan hit on an idea: How about BEES?

Sounds like fun – let’s jump in! We’ve never kept bees before so we’re NewBees(groaaaann, bad pun…) There’s a lot to do before we actually receive any bees, come see how we prepared.
