I lost three of my four hives this winter, even though it was quite warm compared to last year. My new 3#packages are arriving the week of 5/7 from H+R Apiaries in Georgia. Last year the hives with the georgia bees collected 60 pounds of honey. They are hard workers and very patient as I rummage around in their hive. I have learned a lot from them.
Also at school we now have three hives. Two well established hives and one maverick. It's quite wild in the maverick hive. It looks like a top bar hive when in fact it is a langstroth. When we opened up the hive last weekend was a riot. I was stung 8 times. A drag. I think we will let them settle down a bit and get the smoker fired up next time.

EIGHT times?!?! I got stung four or five times when my husband was installing his new packages and that was more than enough for me to handle.
Our neighbor has a hive or whatever you would call it in his old aviary. You can see the honeycombs in there. Is this dangerous to our neighborhood. I have a daughter who is allergic to them.
