I'm covered in bees!

Bee Weaver Apiaries are now accepting orders for bees, and I just orderd my 3 lb. package that will arrive in Austin the week of April 11th. There is actually a pick up point in Austin for Bee Weaver just off Far West which will make it super easy to get my bees and then go install them in the hive. This seems much better than having them arrive by USPS and less stressful for the bees as well.

I’m finally getting around to posting this year’s Halloween Party invitation. I went with a toe tag theme with a plaster cast of my own toe which is a pain in the ass. It took many attempts to get a good casting, but it ended up looking really good in the end. The other hard part was finding the right glue to for the magnets to go on the end of the toe. All in all, I was happy with the end results.
