I became a honey bee beekeeper in April 2017. As of this writing (January, 2019), my beekeeping partner Dan, and I have three hives in my back yard. We have named our beekeeping endeavors BeeDaddies Apiaries. In the pantheon of beekeepers, we are hobbyists, also known as “backyard beekeepers.” In the pages and posts listed below I hope to share some of my experiences: what I have learned, some of my thoughts … perhaps some links to information or resources that would be helpful to other “newbee” beekeepers. I hope that you find the pages interesting. Please feel free to comment on pages that allow it, or contact me directly.
