Lobin Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Lots of cowboys out there, don't want to get stung by a scam, so don't try to wing it. But when properly researched you will find a hive of information. Bee careful!! But when conducted properly, this could bee a keeper of a hobby, and will keep you very bizzy.

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Supposedly Bee Keepers are the longest living profession. The live the longest compared to other jobs. Maybe its from eating the fresh products or that it's calming to work with them.. Perhaps also the stings are helpful for jumpstarting the immune system. I have athlete friends who will purposely get a sting to tone up the immune response. Sounds like a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I myself recently heard that the stings are good for arthritis ? But suspect that the longevity may be due to the calm peaceful approach, to both life & the hives, which the bees insist upon ! Whatever, I would definitely recommend it, as an interesting & inexpensive hobby, putting something back into the global-ecology upon which we all depend ! Also works up a thirst quite nicely. Anyone for mead ? ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsflynn603 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 In America bees are being destroyed by collapsed colony disorder and other things like mites. But at the veggie market a bit N of Thapae gate I was happily shocked to see about 40 bees madly working the flowers of of some herb for sale. They looked small as honey bees go. It is possible to "hunt" wild bee colonies by putting out sugar bait, and triangulating by moving the bait stations to find the wild hive and then capturing it. You can find info on that in the internet I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
