Winter work

I was told that bee keepers get the winter to relax and study after the bees were put away for the winter. This is not true, we have spent the winter building and painting nuc boxes to prepare for bringing bees back from Texas. Now that they are done, we are buildings new pallets and assembling new boxes to be able to increase to 80 hives this summer. We still lots of boxes to put together and for Mallory to paint before spring.
