One of the big apiaries is already sold out of bees just with pre-orders.
Crazy year for the bees.
Looks like the bee thing will be a money loser this first year for sure. The bees themselves will cost $80. That doesn't include the other equipment. I hope my dad donates that stuff to me, but knowing him, he'll probably charge me retail.

You know, apiary was one of those words I had to memorize for the SAT years ago, and I have never once had use for it? I was really starting to think they made it up.
Are you really going to raise bees? Whatever will the neighbors think?
