My Honey Man

Our anniversary is coming up in May & I was determined this year that I wasn't going to get Michael another crappy anniversary gift from Walmart, while he got me something thoughtful. I got started early & did some research online for my honey hunch. I remembered that Michael has always talked about having his own honeybees & thought that it would be a cool to produce our own honey. Not to mention the fact that our honeybee population is declining & more backyard apiarists are needed. I knew that he'd never suspect that I'd bought him a hive!

After logging several hours online researching, I found a cute little hive kit that had most of what he needed to get started. It's got a beautiful copper roof, so it looks pretty in the yard too.

It was delivered last week & since it was too big to hide & there is a window of time to order bees this season, I let him open it right away. He loved it!! "It's a hit!" The kit came complete with a book & instructional DVD & several important tools. He's excited to learn as much as he can & buy the bees to populate our new sustainable living adventure.
