first spring hive inspection

This blog recounts what I learned while starting an apiary called HiHat Honey on a roof in Brooklyn and then a second generation in Oxford, Mississippi. I keep bees in the honey-loving tradition of my grandfather Dan and my mother Harriet, the hero and heroine of this blog. In 2014 I returned to Brooklyn, but the bees stayed in the sticky and capable hands of a friend in Mississippi.
