New Year's Beekeeper Resolution

I talk with Sally all the time "i want to be a better beekeeper", "i want stronger colonies that produce lot's of honey", "i want my beekeeping processes  to be better" I actually go on and on. We strategize and organize. We discuss different methods. We always get side tracked with other projects, like web page building, marketing, building things, helping others, and just developing the business-Mamabehive Honey Farm. 
Then there is our personal lives and our health that come in to play.  'Family first' they always say.  At the same time there is a life of a hive that hangs in the balance. 
For beekeeping you are only the manager of the colony but a lost rides on the future of your colony.  You have time and money invested you don't want it to fail.  So about every10 days I have a time clock that foy's off in my brain and it does not stop alarming until I get to all my hives....It can get a little noisy in my head.  I can be talking to you but I am really going over what I would either be doing or the lost of things that need to be done.
So my new year's resolution goes like this:
Take care of my husband and my relationship with God.
Take care of my family's needs as reasonable as possible. 
Outside of my household-Take care of my bees before I agree to do anything else. That is a hard one-I have two other part time jobs that keep me busy.
Tomorrow I will outline what I mean by taking care of my bees.
Learn more advanced techniques about bees.
Share with young people about bees.
Teach anyone about beekeeping.
Build the Mamabehive brand.
These are not in order but will shake out in the right order.  I invite you to come along with me and Sally on this journey.  This year with these resolutions it's going to be a wild flight-in honor of the honeybees.
Beekeeping ss fun
