Painted & Ready for Tenants

April is almost here!  I am about one week away from obtaining my first package of honey bees.  I hope the weather cooperates...  Speaking of Sky Hive, I am happy to announce that the hive is completely painted and ready for bees!  Abby did an amazing job.  The thought of painting a hive seems easy, but actually doing it, is another story.  It took a little over a month to complete, but the wait was totally worth it!  Thanks again, Abby!

Below I am going to post a few pictures from the painting process.  Leave some comments and tell me what you think!

Let the fun begin.  Coffee is a must.
