RE: Double E Blessed Bee Farm... The Beginnings
I'm not that brave just yet
I have captured swarms without a veil but when working with hives, I always suit up! Ive found that bees can sense your nervousness etc and react acccordingly. I tend to be a bit wound up and excited so theyre not so calm around me. Another factor is most of mine were recoveries so bees tend to be a bit aggressive when you're ripping out their home!
Ive never tasted a wildflower but if they taste as good as they smell then I am sure the honey tasted good! haha
I'll have to try the candycanes once and see how it turns out. If nothing else the bees will have stellar breath all winter long!!
The small jar on the left has honeycomb, we chew it like gum in the south. The jar on the right is pure honey, run through the centrifuge, not boiled. Out of this world.
oh yeah!!!
