@English N Angry you're going to love this

Imagine how much honey you can produce with a few dozen of these. No smoke, no suits, no dead bees, no rotting wood.

Yeh i seen it

Honey is expensive as well

It's a potential income source for the community, and the pollination would assist other crops. Once I get up there I imagine setting up at least a few of these low maintenance little money hives

I bee the Beekeeper of cascade

Hahaha

There are two spiritual dangers of not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace.

To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden, preferably where there is no grocer to confuse the issue.

To avoid the second, he should lay a split of good oak on the andirons, preferably where there is no furnace, and let it warm his shins while a February blizzard tosses the trees outside.

well i'm certainly joining the military

Not fighting these shill wars anyway

If I do not being in a combat role

Can carry on with the gym and learn how to shoot regardless

those flow hives are proprietary, prone to break, and kinda crappy overall

(i love beekeeping)

if you want a rabbit hole to fall down for a while, look at michael bush's talks on beekeeping

hes a greybeard beekeeper, has a lot of thoughts on the prevelance of varroa in the late 20th century and other stuff

@neetkthx wow, that's good to know!

Thanks for the info

its fascinating

i fell down the 'i want to keep bees in general' hole a few years ago

you start reading and watching, then its like 'you must treat for varroa or else' then you are like ok, whats the best way to treat, then you eventually find michael bush and realize you and everyone else might be big dummies

colony collapse disorder, as far as anyone knows, isnt caused by one thing, but by a whole bunch of things, one of which is the varroa mite

How hard is bee keeping?

there's a solid chance that the reason varroa became so prevalent in the 80s-90s and is such an issue today, is that in the 60s-70s, they were fighting other parasites by treating with erythromycin(iirc) pretty heavy, and the varroa being less susceptable outcompeted the other parasites
