Maybe…but not this year. Went to the local berry farm that also helps backyard beekeepers get started and maintain their hives. Learned a lot…
- Different bee species will live and mate together, creating cross breeds
- Bees make Propolis to seal their hives, contain contaminates and prevent fungus and microbes from growing
- Propolis is thought to lower your risk of heart disease, minimize free radicals, reduce ulcers, reduce inflammation, control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of Anemia
- Bees do NOT like to be breathed on
- You can feed your bees with a sugar water combination
There is a lot to beekeeping, so I think it best that I investigate it more and take one of the Intro to Beekeeping classes offered by the berry farm in the future. I did pick up some honey sticks while at the farm. 🙂
