I have tried to start a couple of times. Build boxes and equipment needed. Then got busy with work and missed the deadline to order bees. There is a club near by i need to go join to get some help.
Wondering if anyone keeps honeybees?

My wife’s been wanting to keep some bees for awhile now. I think probably soon we will take the plunge.
I have a bunch of chickens why not a bunch of bees

my neighbor raises/keeps them, expensive hobby he has had at least 6 of his hives die and that's a lot of bees and not cheap to replace.. this year I think he added 5 more hives and had his best year for honey in 3-4 yrs. If we dont quit using so many pesticides we are not going to have any bees left, heard scientists think they've found out that's why bees are having a hard timing fighting off that fungus that attacks/kills them.

I have been keeping bees for about 10 years now really rewarding when it works out but can be frustrating as well ccd is a real problem due to pesticides I lose about 10 percent of my hives every year as already mentioned it is a expensive hobby but when you get a good yield it is very easy to sell that liquid gold lol the problem I have always had is you can’t produce enough people are crazy about buying local honey

I can believe that it amazes me when people find out you have bees the first thing out of there mouth is do you have any for sell around here most charge $16 a quart I normally charge $13 but people will buy all you can sell

I just paid 48.00 for 3 quarts, it had went up about 4 dollars a quart since last time I bought it from him. But I know how much it costs him to maintain his bees so doesnt bother me too much plus I know where it came from.
