Beekeeping, which I took up in 2008,  is one of my food adventures.  I have two hives:

The upper hive I started in 2008, the lower in 2009.  This year I harvested about 104 pounds of honey.  The hives are essentially put to bed for the winter, but the bees will fly any day the temperature gets to around 50F.
