We are back in Boulder from a few years in Hawaii and California with fresh new ideas and access to great sustainable and re-purposed materials, which besides keeping this out of the waste stream, help keeps our prices lower. I am about to begin testing the Top-Bar beehive design with a couple new materials that Julee Herdt, CU environmental design professor, material scientist, and green tech guru, has designed and marketed. (She was the architecture professor that lead the CU Solar Decathlon team to victory!!!) These hives are going to be amazing, and I should have pictures up in a week. When we left Boulder a few years ago to start a permaculture farm on the big island, things in the urban homesteading scene were isolated to a few small farms outside of town, now chickens are everywhere, bees are in your neighbors back yard, everyone has a garden and Boulder is about to set forth on another amazing spring!
Oh yeah, happy spring by the way.
