And that you're in to heavy metal is an added bonus; not that I am, I dont' care for it really, but that you aren't the classical homesteader prairie-skirt wearing gal adds charm. I am a super duper beginner, got my chicks (flock of 4) about a month ago, had my hive for about 3 months now and have been an avid - albeit beginner - gardner since I was 8 years old. Trying out the urban garden scene, and dream of having more acreage to grow, grow, grow!Xoxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988297498922849710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-39876750500907887912012-03-28T14:45:25.663-05:002012-03-28T14:45:25.663-05:00The more beekeeping knowledge, the better!The more beekeeping knowledge, the better!SingtheBodyElectrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198581021225860737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-22764963648001902372012-03-28T14:05:04.808-05:002012-03-28T14:05:04.808-05:00Yay bees!Yay bees!Dan Farnbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11092937547009932791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-69107879163701448282012-03-26T07:35:06.471-05:002012-03-26T07:35:06.471-05:00ClosedClosedPhelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-2153506170207081142012-03-26T06:39:41.359-05:002012-03-26T06:39:41.359-05:00Yes!
