Having bee hives has been on my interest list for a few years now.
Main issues holding me back is the startup capital and getting it registered etc with the council and finding a suitable place to put them. As I know a great spot on council land near town here, but they would surely get trashed by the grubs in this town

Bring a compass. It’s awkward when you have to eat your friends.

I love walking because it clears your mind, enriches the soul, takes away stress, and opens up your eyes to a whole new world.

We have a neighbor, about 3km as the crow flies, that keeps a LOT of bees...

He is head of the local bee keepers group and gives beginners classes in spring. I have Sweetie signed up for that as she has an interest.

Biggest issues here are winter and bears.... Neighbor has had a lot of bear trouble over the years.. They will eventually defeat everything you do. Fences, electric fences, dog run enclosures, you name it. I usually hear his big 300 magnum "taking care of business"

Except this last summer. It was quiet.. I ask him last fall about that. He said he took an old 20' shipping container he uses for storage, put a hand rail around the top and put his hives on top of the container. He uses a ladder to get up and down. Lying the ladder on the ground when not in use. Bears have not defeated that one yet...

The farther north you go, the more things that can eat your horse and you.. Grandpa Gilbert

There was a company in qld not so long ago offering paid beekeeping apprenticeships, only for juniors though i think, cant remember the name but would most likely bee a pretty worthwhile job given the bees circumstances today. My grandfather was a beekeeper, had about a dozen hives in the Berseker Ranges, he showed me a few things when i was younger, how to raid a hive and use an extractor.
