You'll be busy as bees.

[fastfire]

Bet you got a heck of a sweet tooth.

Lots of bees wax for sale shortly.

Now for great prices on honey to OUR FAMILY.

[psychicrhino]

So much for retirement!

[xbeeman412]

I aint retired I am retarded! Got to be retarded to run 140+ hives at 71 years of age.

[Bad Water Bill]

Also got to love it to run 140+ hives at 71 years of age.

Keep up the good work.

Don't look like your holding true to your screen name there xbeeman.

I have bee n considering starting a few hives but was flabbergasted at the cost of a good bee suit. I still may do it.

[xbeeman412]

Just splurged and got the Wife and Myself these ventilated suits last week (ultra breeze) they are 259.00 each. The working temp is at least 15 degrees cooler if there is any breeze.

As I told you before, for me - being around that many bees has always ended bad.

Your a brave soul. Who knows how much food was made possible by those bees.

An older fellow at church talks about his hives. He is passionate about his bees, and is very interesting to listen to. He brings in honey now and then, and it is tastes just fine on my toast! Just don't ever tell him you killed a bee or even a wasp.

Been looking to make a super, especially if I get the property across the street from me. Has about 30 apple trees, and currently have a garden over there as the owner moved into a home and his grandkids left his garden sit fallow.

Been looking at plans and it doesn't seem too involved to get one set up.

It's good to BEE busy.

Very nice. Wife had 2 hives and lost them both. We have a terrible bee shortage this year, i guess the hard winter got them. Then it warmed up, saw a few bees, got down below freezing again, no more bees, not what we needed. Had a wild hive in an old oak tree for years, no sign of them.

I live near a commercial apiary for crop pollination. The honey is a by product they make their money from the hive rental so buying honey from them is cheap. We rarely use sugar in anything any more. We buy the honey in 20lb or 50lb buckets. I LOVE honey! so it works out well for me. Looks like the OP has his hands full for sure.

Hat is off to you guys! The world needs more bees!

[MaryB]

I noticed the last time I mowed that there were zero bees and my lawn is full of clover that was in full flower, not good.

[farmallcrew]

Ive actually been looking into get into bees and honey producing. i know its going to be a lot of hard work, but the bees do the most of the work for you. Right now im still planning things out, to see if i can really do, or if the bees are going to be after my acres worth of fruit trees.

[9w1911]

wow that is awesome !!! I love honey so if you guys need to sell any

[MaryB]

Walked the yard again today. Clover in full bloom, huge patch 100x40 feet, not a single bee buzzing around.
