Pre-bee prep pre-prep

We debated a lot about where to put our bees. Here in the Northwest, the more sun the better so they can keep warm. The front yard gets the most sun, but it is facing the street and the neighbors. We decided that the backyard would be better even though it's a little shady in the morning. Then we can check on the bees in our sexy net hats in private, and people won't freak out about having bees in the neighborhood, even though the bees are nice.

We have a shed that we had been thinking about taking down because it's leaky and getting pretty old, so we decided to put the bees there instead of making a seating area. Here are the pictures of "operation: take the shed down". We should be getting bees next weekend so we had to work fast.
