Well, good! Now Mike knows he can't function without you. Job security.

I just read that a black bear was seen in your county. The guy said it stole suet and laid under the swing set to leisurely eat it. They usually hit garbage cans, bird feeders and BEE HIVES!!!! I thought of you as soon as I read that!
Have you got a plan for dealing with a potential bear when you get your bees? We've had a couple on our road and I'm certain from the decimated raspberry bushes that we were personally visited. I'm giving the future hive some careful thought. :/

I saw that article. There was one not far from us last year, too. Right now, we are completely fenced, so we dont get much in the way of predators (knock wood).

I've read in Bee Culture that some beeks in bear country out west use electric fencing.

Good idea. My garden has one around it-most likely put the hive inside of it.
