We recently planted 10 fruit trees...apple, pear, sweet cherry, plum, and peach. When they arived in the mail there wasn't much sign of life. Today we can see the buds starting to sprout! Maybe in 5 years I'll be able to make a fruit pie with my own fruit!!
And thanks to the Wagner Family who passed on some bee equipment to us we also have a colony of honeybees. Several other beekeepers that I have talked to have lost their hives to the bears so who knows if we'll ever get to harvest any honey, but its worth a try right?
Before you bother the hive you have to smoke the bees. This calms them so you can enter their colony to do what you need to do.
