Sommer Family Bees
Currently we have two colonies in Placitas, New Mexico
Blue Hive
This is a top bar hive designed to Les Crowder's specifications.
This hive was populated with a colony that swarmed in a South Albuquerque neighborhood.
After over a week, we could find no brood or evidence of a queen. Luckily, Papa Bear Honey (Craig Noorlander) had an Italian hybrid queen. She saved the colony.
Purple Hive
This is a top bar hive designed to Les Crowder's specifications.
This hive was populated with a nuc from Zia Queen Bees. What can we say, "We just love these bees!"
