HAHA! agreed!!! I don't like bees when they come messing with me. (though I've not been attacked by the africanized guys yet while working outside...) But great pictures!

How hard is it to setup and maintain honeybees?

Wish I was a bee keeper but If I get stung and am caught without meds I could die

uhmm, the only real problem Ive noticed , is Price, unless your handy with wood. Packages of bees can be 70 bucks plus deeps, frames, foundation, extractors, medication (if your not going organic which is hard but getting easier). It takes allot of research allot more than CP's do!

I've found this forum to be helpful

But in the long run you could make allot more than you dump into your bees! Ive really only spent probably 6 hours total this summer so far, messing with bees. Their is another CP'er at that forum, his names understudy, hes not to active here any more.

Next year I plan to donate some honey to the auctions! And pollen maybe, and maybe some comb honey!
