I was saddened to see all those dead bees.  That's a much cuter picture.

Of course you do! Seriously, I can't figure out why I still get surprised by pris.

I agree, it's just that I've been seriously considering bee-keeping as a hobby when I buy a home.


Be real careful if you ever do that in a suburban type property.  Most places won't let you keep bees, as they're considered a wild animal, some places even have bee-specific legislation.  A shame, because European honeybees are pretty much harmless unless you screw with their nest.



you may be surprised, many states have legislation that
allows you to keep bees even in an urban setting, of course
they only allow for a couple hives and you are liable for any
issue that may come up regarding those hives, as you can see
from the earlier pic they dont pose that much of a problem
even when you open the hive, I dont smoke my bees when I open
the hive, I just make sure it's not dark, rainy or cold, half
the time I wear nothing but shorts and often have my kids
with me


bee suits, lol

How many hives do you run?

Do they pollinate locally or do you take them to farms/orchards?

Make any honey products like mead?

I own a farm, bee's are a must and the feral bees have been
scarce the last few years, hopefully I'll have about 6 hives to
rent out next year

The fact that you don't smoke your bees makes me love you even more.  :smile2:

I fucking love bees.  I can't think of an insect that makes me feel happier just to think of.

started with one hive 2 years ago, the original one has
gotten pretty big, I've split it every time I see them
building queen cells, I did miss it once and they swarmed so
I have two hives and a swarm, this spring I'll split them
again and then do it again in august, that should give me a
minimum of 6, if I do any more cut outs I could have more

once I have a  few I'll start rearing queens and sell a few
packages, there's big money in bees, so far I havent taken
any of the honey, I'm letting them use their stores until I
have a few more hives

I dont treat my hives or my crops with anything, if I see a
problem with mites I can always use powdered sugar, they'll
clean each other and get rid of the mites

bees are fascinating, I usually spend a few hours a week
watching them to see what they bring in and what they carry
out, what's really funny is watching my daughter shove things
into the hive to agitate the bees, she's never been stung and
I only got stung a couple times

Smoke is just used for calming down the bees..

They say aged honey test better..

I may try this year a "Kenya Top bar" hive...

Yes, I use it everytime I work with my bees. Otherwise you tend to get stung.

it puts them into a state of panic, they load up on honey and
get ready to evacuate the hive, honey bees tend to sting less
when they are gorged

I'm about to build a top bar hive, regular langstroth hives
for rentals because they're easier to transport and the top
bar for my place and for queen rearing

I've made a thousand posts on the subject especially when the
posts about colony collapse disorder started popping up last
year... alabama still hasnt had a case reported, they also
dont allow migratory bees through the state

we have hive beetles, wax moths, trach mites, varroa,
everything everyone else has a problem with, I havent
encountered any thing but the hive beetles in small numbers
and wax moths, I allow the bees to build their own brood comb
so they regress back to small cells, it seems to be the best
control for varroa mites

looks like I may have the monopoly in bees in a few years,
the old guy that runs the nearest apiary is getting old and
unable to keep up, he's a neat old character, he has a couple
boxes of honey on his porch and a tool box for people to drop
the payment in...
