Excellent choice! Not just hobbies but beneficial.
Heres a picture of the chicken fort with the hives in the background.. We have buffs, reds and barred rocks.. No clue what boots the rooster is, but he is mellow when we go in to collect eggs so I am happy with him.
Lots of reading and learning is good. I am always amazed at the resource the internet has turned out to be.
Feel free to look my website over, (

After many years of roundy round racing, drag racing and mud runs, and the immense amount of money, time and effort they require, it sure is nice to have bees.
