Welcome to Notes From the Hive. This is where I log regular updates straight from the yard, record what worked and what didn't each season, and share stories about keeping bees. Whether it’s tracking hive inspections, trying to figure out absconded colonies, or digging through old texts to see how beekeepers managed hives centuries ago, these notes are a running journal of the practical work, small discoveries, and historical research that keep the apiary running.
