Bees

[ta2edpop]

I was wondering if anybody here kept bees. Namely honey bees. I am starting a hive in a couple of days.

I've got a few hive of Italians (Apis mellifera ligustica).
They are mainly for area pollenation but we do take off a couple of supers of honey every fall to eat and share with friends.

I don't have any but as a mead maker I deal with several of the local bee keepers. Hope there have been any cases of sudden hive collapse in your area.
