      I've been down this beekeeping rabbit hole for about two months now. I'm afraid I may never emerge from here unless a giant bee comes along and caps my cell so I can finish my growth. 🐝 😆

      ​@truthseekercanada I got my hives, smoker, queen cage, queen marker, and everything else I need, took two classes, and finally today I am picking up two packages of bees, oh and I managed to catch a swarm last week. It's been one heck of a journey.

      Usually when swarming, they drink as much honey as possible so they can manage for a few days. So crawling is more appealing than flying.

    Honey bees are the friendliest bees. I'm allergic, but I've been around very busy hives, swarms, and even been able to hold or pet em without being stung.
    I work on houses a lot and wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, etc do sting me, but honey bees and bumble bees are often pretty docile and don't bother me.

    @raymschmidt6032 2 роки тому +4

    I've heard the reason they may have landed on the ground instead of in a tree. The queen had not waited quite long enough for her weight to be down to flying far. Since she couldnt fly far the bees stayed with her.

    I don’t know if I agree or disagree with you. The reason is, where I am at, there are people actually attacking beehives to post on UA-cam ( yes, there videos are still up). I found one swarm who beehives was beaten up on the ground and couldn’t be fix😭. The swarm was on the ground not far from it. I called a friend and he even stated how he reported several people for destroying beehives and how he think it was most recent. He was able to get them and omg, I was there with no gear. Not once did I get attacked or stung. I would have kept them myself but I live in the city and neighbors are too close, lol. However my friend did give me a jar with honeycombs 😍.
