Bees

[heavycar]

too much hassle and they only produce honey (sugar).

I would rather just grow my tomatoes and fruit trees with no effort and get fruit that I like a lot more than honey.

I didnt get into beekeeping for the honey. I have a sizable garden and a handful of fruit trees, and having reliable pollination greatly increases crop yield. Bees are more work than a lot of people expect though. I'd say I spend maybe an hour per week checking bees (takes me about 2 hours every other week) for the most part though, and that seems to be pretty standard unless you find something wrong, then you need to spend more time.

thats a good point but I get more than enough yield from my few trees and plants.  More than I could ever eat.

But you need bees for the proliferation,if there is no process happening on the trees then only leaves will be left in this world no more fruits and flowers.

If there is no bee then humankind will extinct.

Food autarky is hard to obtain. Pollination makes it complicated. Tbh, with complex robots, we could make it happen.

They look very intimidating. You're not afraid to take away their prey?

Great hobby by the way

Flowers are awesome prey. They just sit there and make juices when the sun comes out. It's perfect prey, they can't run and make new food daily.

I've learned so much from the hivemind already.

Head a bee meeting, learned about bees biting varroa. Ordered a microscope from China to check out my rates.

Hygienic bees.

I really like and admire you.
Previously, in the back of my house, there was a flock of homeless bees nesting, but after a few months they left me.

[Switztopexe]

these are the cutest animals in the world.
after cats and dogs, of course.

Bees are very amazing creatures.

Where do you guys keep those hives? I have seen people that have hives on the top of the big buildings in the middle of the cities. Not sure how healthy souch honey would be, filled with exaust gasses and such.

Sorry have nothing to share since I have no bees around but I am very interested in entering bee farming and I am following this thread and getting other actual experiences because it’s more helpful than those ideas I’ve got in YouTube

Anyway please be kind to share the progress of your farm for our references as interested in having as well

They are annoying if you don’t know how to threat them and what is their existence for

oh beehave  

Give them sunflowers, they love those.

Bees need to put in hives and you need to get the queen,which give birth to young bees,constant monitoring is needed and you need to protect yourself from stig of bees
