Our blog and website can be found at LazerCreekApiary.com. The blog started out as a narrative of us preparing our land and of our future retirement plans, but the bees have taken over for the most part!

That is a very sweet invitation–as sweet as that picture. Thank you! I am not a beekeeper yet, I’m a wanna-bee keeper! I have attended beekeeping school and once I was thrilled to go on a swarm capture here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I’m a garden writer, fiction and nonfiction, and I have my own small publishing business, Greenwoman Publishing. My blog is “Flora’s Forum” http://www.florasforum.com. Check it out and sign up for a free download of Greenwoman Magazine! I’d love to connect with other bloggers who might be interested in sharing their writing or other art or knowledge there. Thanks again! ❤

Thanks for dropping in. The best beekeepers I have met are those that have taken their time gathering information before making the leap. I enjoy your blog as well. Thanks for the link and free download!

I enjoy your blog … but I think I’d enjoy that icecream even more! Thanks for your encouragement on Beenuts.

I thank you for all the wonderful humor you spread with Beenuts. I always look forward to new posts. Bee satire at its best.

Thank you for the kind invitation. We very much enjoy your blog and are impressed with the frequency and quality of your posts.
We are https://theprospectofbees.wordpress.com/ in southeastern Michigan.
Another example of beginners starting to keep bees as a hobby and erratically blogging about it when day jobs permit, although we are, perhaps, no longer quite beginners after seven years.
While a number of amateurs use horizontal top-bar hives as we do, we seem alone in using Tanzanian style (vertical sides) rather than Kenyan style (sloping slides).

Thanks for stopping by to comment. No, hate to break it to you but you’re not beginners anymore. Probably more like bee addicts. 🙂 It’s all good and while I am a Langstroth guy I enjoy seeing others work with various types of hives. I don’t actually think the bees care much one way or the other but if it increases our enjoyment then everyone is a winner.

Langstroth is fine for now but wait. As supers heavier get and back weaker gets to horizontal dark side turn you will, yes. 8)

Your post today is a great idea – thanks for the invitation to all of us bee-bloggers. I’ve been writing about beekeeping for years, even though I’m not a particularly great beekeeper. Not even a good beekeeper. In fact, I had to name my blog the badbeekeepingblog.
By the way, your photo looks great – but honestly, my teeth began to ache as soon as I saw it! (That won’t stop me from making a honey comb cone when the weather gets hot!)

Thanks for the comment Ron. Everyone here is probably already subscribed to your excellent blog. If not then I highly recommend it to all. Thoughtful, well written and researched, it’s a must read. Glad to see you blogging a bit more lately. Can’t wait until the book comes out too. Can I get a signed copy?

Have you had a look at my first book, Bad Beekeeping? It came out about ten years ago. You’ve probably read it:

Hello, I am Claire from Smallholding Dream – https://smallholdingdreams.com/ – I am a beginner at a lot of things, beekeeping, shepherding cheesemaking, goat milking, vegetable growing etc and am learning as I go along. I am about to open a pop-up cafe on our campsite where I will sell my own home-grown, home cooked food – all the meat, eggs, veggies and fruit will be from our own (non-certified) organic smallholding. Hopefully next year my dairy will pass inspection and I can add cheese and yoghurt for sale to that list. Currently I am rather terrified by it all – my blog details the ups and downs of the adventure. I hope to be able to make a living from this – which given the situation in higher education here in the UK is probably a good idea – my day job (currently) is as a lecturer in Islamic history and art. I worry I might be too highly strung to be a beekeeper, I am quite jaggy round the edges, but so far they seem to tolerate me. I haven’t tried honeycomb on icecream yet, but that is a goal for this year 🙂

Thanks for visiting! I follow your blog and adventures with interest. You don’t seem terrified. Maybe that’s the natural state of homesteading and mini farming adventures. Anyway, I’ve met all sorts of beekeepers and they all fit. It’s all ups and downs too. Maybe that’s the takeaway we gain from the adventure. Cheers!

I reckon it is the natural state of homesteading 🙂 I love your blog as well and have learnt so much from it – thank you and thank you for the invite to us all to share a bit about ourselves such a good idea.
