Top Bar Beehive

Rand made this topbar beehive for me for Christmas.  It's made with upcycled wood. He followed a design and added his own modifications to it. It is sitting upon a chair and awaiting its own stand.

We are also taking a natural beetending class over here with the Barefoot Beekeeper.  There is lots to learn.  We thought that since we started making mead that we should also give back to the bees by helping them grow healthier and more vibrant colonies. This is a bit of our effot towards that.

Life isn't long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it! ~Tasha Tudor
