That wasn't a good idea. That was sarcasm. I think your biggest hurdle is grasping the idea that bees, like most other elements of nature, may not think the...
I am a woman beekeeper, just to set the record straight...but I really don't see how that makes a difference. Darcy "Interesting to note that a male beekeeper...

Thank you, Darcy. Since the topic has once again turned to beekeeping, and I am indeed a newby beekeeper (a female beekeeper without a heart! LOL!!), I would...
I agree Darcy, we tried. Elizabeth, I'm in Colorado and keep two hives of Italians. I keep Italians because they were recommended to me by a local master...
Hello, I have a friend who has Buckfast, only she has a more poignant name for them....."Stingfast"! I have two hives of Italians and one Carniolan. I was told...

I have heard that to keep the line pure, you have to order a new queen each year. Would that help keep the temperament of the bees more placid? Pete...
Hi Elizabeth, To join in, I lived in Golden, CO for ~5 years and kept Buckfast I got from Weaver. They were great bees, but as Peter said, the second...
