She was no overly excited about the dark brown I had chosen for the first hives. It was dark and dull. We wanted the hives to blend into the woodland background, but the brown was just ugly.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday afternoon Erica received a message from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freecycle.org\">FreeCycle.org<\/a>.
