Hey there! I keep bees on the Central Coast in CA and I’m road tripping to see family and friends. I’m in Southern Oregon and I was wondering if I could come have a visit to your apiary. Call me at 831 334 7057 if that sounds fun. Thanks for your time!

I am just learning about beekeeping and am drawn time natural beekeeping. Hollowing out a log is a very hard process or so it seems. I love the idea of a skep. How do you keep it dry from rain?
Thank you

In reply to Brenda. DE will kill bees if they get into it.

In reply to Janice. How and where and when do you apply DE to your hives?
