I try to rely on a group of friends, too. But I take information from anywhere. You could easily find a beekeeping group or mentor in your area.<br /><br />GrafixMuse, I'm worrying now that all my hives have problems! Glad you could see -- showing people in person is really fun too.<br /><br />kitsapFG, thanks. I hppe this is one of the last ones -- there's a lot going on here.<br /><br />Tricia, it really was. Just a sinking feeling.

Kind of eerie to see all those eyes. The eyes! the eyes! Aaaaiiiiee. I'm not that fond of drones, although my kids love stingless bees.<br /><br />chaiselongue, I'm sorry for creeping you out. Just a few more bee posts and we're back to vegetables!<br /><br />CVF, I started beekeeping before I knew anything. It helps to have other people to ask, but the bees are pretty good about it all.Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-48307414220232769752010-03-29T14:23:58.955-07:002010-03-29T14:23:58.955-07:00We don't have European honey bees at the farm ...We don't have European honey bees at the farm yet, just Mason Bees.
