If it costs more than it makes sense but it makes life interesting it’s a hobby.
Hobbies are awesome. Have fun keeping bees. I love insects, bees are particularly interesting and amazing.

Well done. Getting them to survive over the winter will be tricky.

Curious. With the outfits you wore and protection, how did you still get stung?

Lots of beekeepers just use a veil, no arm or hand protection. Wear shorts.

For this foray, I opted for near max protection. Although purchased on Amazon, the jacket is pretty good.

I somehow expect WhirleyPop to do something similar soon. Nice work.

On the cement floor, are those live bees, dead bees or something else (pellets?)

Bees are amazingly docile, if you leave them alone they are happy to just do

So there are a few males and a lot of females and one queen?

The males (drones) only purpose is to find an unmated queen during a swarm.
