Hello Fellow Beekeepers!
by Heather Sessions 16 Apr '22

16 Apr '22

My name is Heather and my husband and I just bought land in Tres Piedras. We’re excited to be a part of the community and are diving into beekeeping right off the get go! We ordered two packages from Zia Queen Bees that we’ll be picking up in two weeks. We moved from western Washington state where we kept bees for 4 years. Quite a different climate there so we’re eager to learn about beekeeping here in northern New Mexico. We have top bar hives and plan to build a nice protected apiary near some of the pinion and juniper trees on our property. Any advice or guidance as we get started would be greatly appreciated. Bee well! Heather

I have a very strong 10 frame Langstroth hive I want to sell. It overwintered just fine, Checked on it yesterday again. One deep with lots of brood, another deep that was at the bottom that was mostly empty of the winter stores it had, a medium 6 5/8” super with brood and honey. Screened bottom board. Queen is one year old. I’ve had this hive going for about 6 or 7 years. I’m trying to just work with top bars and starting with letting this one go first. Asking $450 I also have a number of 8 frame deeps and supers for $15 and empty 10 frame boxes for $18. Misc covers, bottoms for very cheap. Frames - w/o wax $2 w/ drawn comb $4 Steve Schmidt 21 Calle Debra Santa Fe, NM 87507 505-557-9731 P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail
