How honey bees changed my wellness journey

**this post contains affiliate links

If you are interested in beekeeping, you probably a gardner like i am. I always wanted bees to help with pollinating my plants and to provide honey

But the process seemed so foreign… I had no clue where to start.

Well, after years, I knew this year would be the year I’d take the plunge.

I ordered a flow hive dupe on aliexpress and then waited for the perfect time to get our bees.

A flow hive is unlike a traditional hive. You don’t need fancy tools to extract the honey - just a key to turn the frame and the honey flows out the hive.

I did this to preserve space in our garage.

We waited for our bees. We set out a DIY trap to try and catch a swarm, but nothing happened.

So, we purchased a nuc box.

No one tells you when you are considering bees, that the best time to pick them up is at night when the bees have all returned to their hive.

The morning after we brought home the girls, we had to put them in their new hive.

We suited up and started tending to our honey bees for the first time.

If you are interested in beekeeping, I hope this encourages you to begin on your journey as well.
