RE: List of Foods We Will Lose if We Don’t Save the Bees ( and Yes, Mangos are on this list !! )
I love so many of those veggies. Sigh. That's why I need my own bees! I have a hive, just didn't have the availability to get any or a bee suit this year! NEXT YEAR. I hope. I was sad that the company I was planning to buy supplies from went under. :(
@Farmstead... Have a friend, Dan, who is a beekeeper & has a PhD. Dan lived on my sailboat for awhile and is a really Good Person. He gave his sister most of his bees and she now has about 100 hives & sells honey commercially in Florida.
Let me see If I can get her contact info to You...I've never communicated with her but if she is like her brother, Dan, she'll help You... will be back within the hour. What state in the USA do You live ?
Quick Edit: Just sent a text to Dan... but just realized that maybe You want to wait until next year to start... I just want to be sure You want to start soon or perhaps wait until next year. Just let me know either way. Thank You @FarmStead...
Cheers !!
Hi! Wow what a great offer!! I am always up for more Beekeeping friends! I was working for a beekeeper earlier this year, bottling honey and selling it in his honey shop. Unfortunately they had to shut down the shop and let me go.
I am in the local Beekeeping club here in Central Oregon. I haven't attended any meetings this year (financial difficulties and all) but they're a great resource! But I am always down for more beekeeping friends. :D
Do you live far off the land with your boat? Cause how funny-cool would it be to have a beehive chillin' on your deck?! Ha.
I do want to wait until next year cause we've come down on some financial difficulties and I wont be able to get myself a suit (unless Steemit pulls through! Woo! Haha). I will have to save up for it.
Thanks for thinking of me!
@FarmStead... You're most welcomed...haven't heard back yet from my BeeKeeper friend, Dan.
Dan is about 75 so I may try emailing or calling. He lives in New Mexico and his sister in Florida, but I don't have his sister's cell number.
Anyway, I will do my Best...
Just a quick thought, my intuition is suggesting that Your money situation is in the process of becoming more abundant. It is easy to "see" that You will do very well here at STEEMiT because You are such a giving person AND You write Very Good Posts (content value) !!
Cheers !!
I very much appreciate the encouragement and positive vibes! I hope that's true! I also hope I can keep up with it. I'm already kind of failing on motivation to keep writing every day but hopefully it will start coming easier again!
Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
Good News !! Dan, the Beekeeper texted me back an hour ago so it might be best to meet You over at SteemitBloggerCentral because would prefer to give You his email in private... will head over to SBC in just a bit.
I think You'll really like Dan as he can be very helpful.
Have a Good Day FarmStead !!
