I am a beekeeper, mead maker, bread baker, and kraut fermenter. I am creating one of the first urban beekeeping businesses in the country. I am a locavore, and love living in Madison, WI.
In Madison, the required $10. Beekeepers license is available at the City Treasurer's office in Room 107 of the City-County Building 266-4771
Looking forward to a small smackerel of urban goodness
Congratulations!
Alt.Kilt sent me! I love this project, going to see if I can't get something like this going in my city.
Alt, Kilt sent me (BadBetsy)
Hey Nathan, Alt.kilt sent me (though I already knew about the project). I am so glad to see how much success you guys are having. Merry Christmas!
Nathan, Congrats on your successful kickstart. We were really happy to read the updates and see that things were progressing so quickly. Can't wait to taste some of the honey. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I love this project! I 'hosted' a hive in my backyard in MN several years ago so I know what this is about. What isn't mentioned is the amazing experience for the person hosting the hive. There is a connection as you watch, listen to, and learn from the bees. It is not just about the honey.
Nathan, I'd be interested in having you look at our rather small yard near East High to see if it would be suitable for a hive. I have a peach tree and lots of miscellaneous flowers and veggies grown in pots. Thanks.
Honey Good!! Alt.Kilt sent me.
If I win a kilt from Alt.kilt, I'll donate it to someone who can actually use it. But I can certainly use honey from Mad Urban Bees!
Found out about this cool project from Alt.Kilt and had to jump on board!
I'd be interested in hosting a hive in McFarland. I know it may be outside your Madison area, but I have a nice bee-friendly yard (no chemicals, lots of blooming plants).
