I tried for 6 straight years. Every winter they died. Gave up.

I have had my 4 hives for 4 years now. All swarms bought off my property. They have been strong brooks and good producers.

Had one of the hives split 3 times this past year. Tried to catch the swarms but no luck, but what a sight to see and hear, God's wonders.

I wanted to learn to keep bees. Im working on a claim in Idaho, where its a 3 mile hike up a stream, but mountainsides on both sides of stream are covered in clover. Lots of bears up there though...

#1 benefit for me having bees

No more allergies since I have been consuming my honey!!!

Thats why I want them too...there was a farm in town that had bees. But the city imposed enough fees on them they moved away. taking bees and honey with them...now "local" honey is 70 miles away.
