   Do the hives ever fight?
   Have you had a colony decide they didn’t like the hive and leave?

   Bee keeping is easy and good for everyone, including the bees that do most of the work pollinating our plants and making honey.

    Sure have. Various things can make a colony decide to jet out- wax moth destruction, lack of food, critters getting into the hive, etc. We had a major problem with wax moths last fall. They truly the demon spawn of hell! LOL

    Always enjoy your videos! Curious – how much honey does an average hive produce each year?

    Depends on a lot of factors but after being established you can get 30-35 lbs. off of a shallow super. Watch the “honey harvest” video, part 8 and 9 I believe.

    Question, where does an aspiring beekeeper buy his first colony of bee’s? I’ve used search engines but it’s all twist and turns it seems.

    All except the “diging bunkers” part anyway! They would fill with water down here.
