BULLDOUG 199 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Many on here keeping Bees? im about to start my second season and have to say im so excited. Went in with 5 hives and only lost one this winter, to be fair it was very weak and it wouldnt feed before the winter started so i knew that one was gonna die. Starting the new season with 4 Nationals and there all flying now. BUZZING Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BULLDOUG 199 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I feckin SO want to keep bees. Got to at some point. They are truly awsome lil creatures and such a fascinating hobby which opens other hobby doors. Jump in there and get some thats my advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
