We have about 50 working hives on our property, if you were close I'd hook you up with one

beekeeping is hellalotta work...less work is providing good places for feral bees to set up a hive...
since I started beekeeping ive had swarms move into quite a few places that weren't hives.
old coolers seem to be popular around here....not able to harvest honey from the odd hives but its good to have feral bees around..
give em insulated places to call home up off the ground...4 to 8 feet is good...add an attractant ( swarm lure or lemongrass oil) in the early spring and hope a swarm moves in.


If it flys it dies. and if it sits it dies too....
