Lazy Shooter- ""Glock, looking at your beautiful apiary, it's apparent you know how to take care of your girls.  I took note of your electric, bear proof fence.  Your apiary is a work of art.  It makes me wish I had the energy and imagination to follow your example.  hmmmm maybe this year!""

This is how I feel about Glock's apiaries "A Work Of Art" nicely put Lazy ~

This is my humble apiary, took three seasons to get this hive up and running healthy and strong. Newbee ignorance and not a proper mentor. Determination pays off.

The little hive to the left was my first hive, it's called a Patio Hive. Haven't heard of talk of this style hive, thinking it must be the beekeepers creation from where I purchase it. It served me well for the first two years. Then it swarmed three times last spring, hence the acquisition of the langstroth engulfed in a swarm. Such an amazing experience to be standing right in the midst of a swarm.

Here is a picture of my four hives and the caretaker (my dad):



I have power lines that run through my property and the right of way blooms with wildflowers in the spring and goldenrod in the fall (that's what got me to thinking about bees in the first place):

Only 6 of mine are at the bee yard.  The other 4 are at home.
