Day 14 - Bees Edition Pt 1

As mentioned previously, we are beekeepers. It has been a passion for my fiancee for many years, she did a lot of research prior to us making the plunge and getting a couple hives a few years ago.

In order to keep our hives healthy there are a few tasks that need to be done on a regular basis and recently I've been doing that physical labor more often than not. However since this started as my fiancee's project, she has retained a lot of the planning tasks such as

-scheduling more adhoc tasks like using pest treatments or coordinating honey harvesting (a big one I might detail later)

-planning for growth by keeping inventory of what equipment we have/need, and coordinating the purchase of that from our supplier

-ensuring we are doing the right thing for the bees: this was the reason she wanted to get into this hobby so she often has to think about whether we are taking good enough care of them, taking care of the environment by using the right tools and practices, etc.
