Mike,
Nice job! I've been toying with the idea of putting a beehive in the yard. My wife and I are birders, and we have numerous feeders in our yard to attract birds. That also means we have lots of squirrels. We planted a lot of perennials over the years to attract birds and many of those attract bees.
However, since our city is so crazy on what they do and don't allow, I guess I'd better check to see if I'd be violating any statutes by having a beehive. I really need to move out into the country or into the hills where an outdoor shop, a beehive, a firepit, has little chance of disturbing any neighbors.
