You are a man of many talents!

Looking good there. How long before your setting up your stand to sell it on the side of the road?

Good deal, I know having bees isn't an easy thing as I know sometime that went through the learning curve

Prostitution is not a legal occupation in Utah!

Have you set up another 10 hives or is this just for your personal use?

It is just for personal use. I am going to start another hive soon and hope to find some land to put another 10-20 hives on.

That would be great. Our lease sits on timber company land and we have 500 hives over 3 locations they move around on them and the bee keeper does many leases. Flat bed truck, forklift, tractor...not sure if or what he pays for access. His only real hazard are bears

Fire ants are a bitch on hives also. It can be very expensive to start a bee business, 500 hives is about $10,000.00. You don't need bears ripping them apart. Up here skunks and teenagers are a problem, skunks eat bees and we all know what teenagers do.

You would think it would be pretty easy to spot which kids were messing with hives. The swelling usuall gives it away

How is the hive doing? Just checking on my honey!

Now there are two hives!!! 3lbs of chunky comb honey here from 1 bar of comb.

 

[FrankT]

I bet that tastes good!

 

[Arnold Galvan]

Very nice

It is very good Frank. The wife is actually using some of it to treat wounds in her clinic. Pure raw honey has great healing properties. Cool stuff.

 

[FrankT]

Will try that on the next hog I shoot...lol

 

[histopicker]

Honey glazed pork!! Yum Yum

Look wonderful. It's always great to be able to get your own honey like that. Good job
