Thanks, just met the beekeeper today for the first time - I can't quite put my finger on why, but it seems like a really fun business to be in. And I'm not even particularly fond of bees.
I keep bees. My girls have been having a tough time of it for the last few years. We get honey, wax, royal jelly, propolis, sometimes stings and a lot of interesting times. Since we are in an urban setting they seem to be pretty productive. I am always complaining about the tendency for people to only monocrop in their yards — only bluegrass. And, I don’t like spraying of any kind, whether in the sky or to the lawns.

Very cool, what got you into beekeeping?
Would you need to find ways to give them more crops to pollinate if your neighbors are all monocrop grass yards?
