Today I ordered 2 bee colonies. I have no idea what I am doing, but I am taking 4 classes to learn and hope to be ready by the time the colonies arrive in late April. I will name queen bee one, 'Sugar' and I will name queen bee two, 'Queen Latifa' because of the movie 'The Secret Life of Bees' which I've actually never seen, but plan to. Tonight was a good night in that John and I decided to read for 1/2 hour every night and no more TV, it was a bad night in that we said goodbye to the jacuzzi until March/April. We will strike her up for mini parties, but she's out of commission until it gets warmer. It uses too much electricity. I will be using a heating pad to deal with my back pain until then - not nearly as fun! John sent in the articles of organization for the LLC to the Secretary of the State and looked at tractors today for the business. Tomorrow I will see if I can find a student at UConn who would be willing to help us with our logo so we can enlarge it for signs. John is also talking about adopting two angora rabbits. I can use their wool for spinning and they are wonderful animals, although a lot of work. The kids will love them. We have 16 nieces and nephews and quite a few more very close friends with kids that just might be willing to help with those! Things will start moving faster every day!
