Maybe you can help by setting out the neighborhood welcome mat!

If you do see swarms, tell the beekeepers since they will home them to a new hive and the more the merrier!

That's sweet Nyboy!

Tell them, the men folk, the bees get to know you, and like you. It's true!

Good to know!

I have enough bees. There is a set of hives several miles away, I have enough pollinators, butterflies and hummingbirds included. I don't want ANY more stinging insects to hit my horses while I am riding/handling them. Call me a worry-wart...

I've been thinking about trying to start a top-bar hive but my menfolk are such wimps about buzzing critters.

My nephew does a lot of yard work for me. When I told him I was thinking of Bees, he threaten to stop working in the yard. Cat I think permit is to run a business out of home, not for the bees.

@valley ranch thank you so much for sharing these videos. Now if I can just find someone handy with building. I have someone in mind to help build some hoop coops so they probably would be up for this.

My thought was if I have to look at it in the garden I want something nice
