Topic: Bees - page 2. (Read 884 times)
I didnt get into beekeeping for the honey. I have a sizable garden and a handful of fruit trees, and having reliable pollination greatly increases crop yield. Bees are more work than a lot of people expect though. I'd say I spend maybe an hour per week checking bees (takes me about 2 hours every other week) for the most part though, and that seems to be pretty standard unless you find something wrong, then you need to spend more time.
Food autarky is hard to obtain. Pollination makes it complicated. Tbh, with complex robots, we could make it happen.
too much hassle and they only produce honey (sugar).
I would rather just grow my tomatoes and fruit trees with no effort and get fruit that I like a lot more than honey.

thats a good point but I get more than enough yield from my few trees and plants. More than I could ever eat.
If there is no bee then humankind will extinct.

pure honey is one of the expensive and most wanted medicine to cure many disease
That's the royal jelly, not just the simple honey. Honey is healthy and great tasting as well though.
My friend keeps bees, it's an insanely profitable business.
But it needs lot of experience as well,pure honey is one of the expensive and most wanted medicine to cure many disease and also gor skin care like cosmetic products so have good potential in long term as well. Those inlets. You probably have so much robbing.
I'm just as surprised as you, but apparently not. I see the occasional bee try to get in through the ventilation up top, but I've only seen the tussle between guard bees and robbers once. They take out plenty of wasps though. I have a tremendous amount of guard bees that cover the entire landing board (and come peacefully check me out whenever I sit down next to the hive). I watch them smell and crawl over any incoming bees before they are allowed in.
It probably doesn't hurt that I haven't hit a dearth yet.

Heres a documentary on youtube about funny honey. In Nepal, they climb cliff sides to harvest honey from giant himalayan bees. There are a lot of wild poisonous plants in the area, primarily rhododendrons, that the bees collect nectar and pollen from that makes the honey they produce toxic. People sure are drawn to poison huh?

Someone else contribute stuff. I might go on strike for new bee pics until I get to stare at other ladies. It feels wrong only posting my girls in a "sharing" thread.
Here you go buddy.
Nice BeeFarm mate that’s a good business as well
My best friend started having hive wayback 2015 and now he’s the biggest supplier of Honey in he’s region so basically this isn’t profitable and also helpful to the environment
