As usual Mindy, you have written an informative & concise article.

I have wanted to for years, but just thought about it because we didn't have any place to put them. After we leave Korea, we are planning to live in a sunnier, more garden-friendly spot and I will finally have my bees, too Big Grin

Probably 2 years. It is so hard to tell with all of the downsizing they are doing. We are guaranteed one more year...
