Pine City Apiary

Beekeeping is an adventure.  It really is.  As you work with them you learn so much about them.  You also realize how much that you have yet to learn.  Bees have predictable behaviors, and yet will suddenly do something unexpected.  You make mistakes.  You learn from them, and you try not to do them again.

In 2016 I took up beekeeping in my back yard here in Pine City, Minnesota.  My father kept bees when I was growing up, and I helped him with them.  When I got my drivers license, I was able to take care of them while he was still at work, so that was a great help.  We had 80 or so hives at that time, and they were spread out in 6 different locations, 4 different counties in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, and rural locations south of the cities.

This channel is to document my journey, my discoveries with bees and beekeeping.  Learning each time as I go. Join me in that adventure!
