Bee Keeping

[sue4e3]

Is anyone interested in Bees. My Husband decided to be a Beekeeper and it is quickly becoming a journey I just wanted to share with someone https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0nJpHoUU41W5Ar5Uqcm8IA

1. Have tended 2 to 6 hives for 20 years

We grow lots of herbs and flowers that produce a medicinal honey for our friends and family. We also have 2 wild colonies of bumblebees that seem to live for our comfrey hedges. Last few years have been a struggle with die back but we somehow seem to find a swarm or two each year.

5. When we have a die back

it's going to be a very sad thing. My husband is the beekeeper really.We all love it but he is the one that did all the research and actually has an idea of what he's doing. I'm the gardener and I love to grow wild flowers

2. have had bees for 30+ years

bears destroyed them last year and I have discovered the effectiveness of electric fence

3. I have about 20 hives

Wife sells honey at the farmers market and does great but given the expense and the level of difficulty... it has to be a passion... and once it is... it will hook you like cocaine!

4. It' becoming a family thing

To go check on them and figure out what's next. We know we want more than one hive.Everyone here is been doing it much longer than us , Maybe we'll be as lucky. I don't know how long he'll keep posting it on Youtube but regardless of where we post it, I want him to keep recording. It is getting my son with autism out there to record it and really get him into something outside his computer room. We Love the bees
