I am interested in bee keeping here in eastern New Mexico, but the locals who have tried it tell me the bees will starve to death in this area. Guess I will have to get my gardens up to snuff before bringing in the bees.

Jen, thanks so much for posting this link... I've been concerned about the bee situation for a while & this article gives me hope that things can get better...
Jonni, I'm envious of you & your husband going to the beekeeping class.. I wish there was one around here...

Jonni where will you keep your bees when you get them?

That is a great article! I saved that one to reread more extensively later. Looks like I'll have some projects for spring. |

That's great, Jen! My husband is attending his first "bee keeping" class this weekend and then he and I will attend in March with the state apiarist. I'm really looking forward to it, and this will be great reading in the meantime!!!
