From San Diego area

Introductions

Hi, I am in the San Diego area. I just caught my first swarm, I was looking at keeping bees late last year.
My nutrionist keeps harping about the benefits of raw honey and some relatives are bee keepers.
When flow came along I pulled the trigger. With my first swarm caught (and more swarm traps out there), things are starting to look more serious…

Hi,
I live in La Mesa, and have a couple of Top Bar hives with feral bees.
I am considering getting Flow frames and adapting a Lang box to hold them and then mating them to the Top Bar Hive.
Do you have a Flow Hive? If so I’d love to see it.
Thanks,
Carlos

I live in Point Loma, and I have an empty Flow hive. Nucleus is coming in a week or two. :smile:

I am in the Poway area but have not yet received my flow hive.

I’ll be volunteering at the Earth Day SD Bee booth in the afternoon. Would be cool to have a Flow Hive to see there.

Hmm, well it seems that I have a fractured metatarsal in my left foot, and walking around Balboa Park is not an option yet. Sorry about that! Hope to make something work at some point.

:blush:

Hi Dawn,
How’s your foot?
Did your flow hive arrive yet?
I enjoyed SD Earth Fair.

Thanks for asking! Slowly improving, unless I can’t rest it. Unfortunately we are having a lot of construction done on our home at the moment, so resting and elevating it is almost impossible. :worried:

My Flow super arrived last week, and I am delighted with the quality of the wood and the cuts/joints. The frames actually came on the same day. Hopefully we get our bees into the hive next weekend, unless the rain delays delivery again… :wink:
