>>1617785
Is there anything special I should know about keeping bees in an apartment?

>>1617789
You'll need to learn how to deal with the noise. They'll be working day and night to make honey. Some would even say they are as busy an ant.

>>1617827

>>1617789
Don't know if you're being serious, but just in case you are, don't.

I have about 2 acres and at most had about 50 hives in the middle of a heavily wooded mountainous area, and they pretty much all died.

You can imagine what would happen in an urban environment.

Fuck you man!

>>1623547
Do tell, what would you have done, any tips? I consulted with the apiary guild every step of the way, but considering that some 80%+ of all hives in the country, region, continent and pretty much world died, we must have all been shit at beekeeping, please, bestow upon us your wisdom oh ancient one!

>>1624722
Is that why you love the taste of semen so much?

>>1624722
It also depends on the person. Different people taste things differently. If you're a person who prefers bitter vegetables, it's likely that you are unable to taste one of the really bitter chemicals in them.

Most of the honey you can find in a shop is watered down. In fact, if the honey's been pasteurized at all - that's a guarantee it's been watered down.

Pasteurization isn't necessary for honey because it's already anti-microbial and keeps for years/decades. The only reason to do it is to cut the honey with water or to filter out all the bits of bee/wax/whatever that might be in the honey.

9/10 times it's to water it down.

>>1624102
>it has to be bees that are mysteriously dying
It's not a mystery, they're dying because there's no reason to keep them alive, people need to buy more honey.

>>1647928
Do you seriously think their only use is honey?

My family are actually bee keepers, historically. We own a dozen acres of century old pecan trees in arizona, and raise bees in the forest, or at least we used to. We stopped about 15 years ago, 'cause none of the younger generation wanted to be stuck running it. In retrospect, it might be cool, other than the fact that I'd be stuck with satellite internet, but I digress.

My brother used to have horrible allergies. Springtime made him borderline asthmatic, we had to use a humidifier just so he could breath. My grand-uncle caught wind of this, and brought my brother a special jar of raw honey, easily the size of his head, and told him specifically, eat a sandwich with this, or drink a glass of tea every meal. Brother kept at it, even though he got tired of PB&H, but he finished the jar, in about a year's time. Pollen doesn't bother him anymore, he went from being the bespectacled nerd to being a serious musclebro. I'm not saying raw honey should be the key ingredient in a super-soldier serum, but I will say no one can claim otherwise.

I think you're being dumb, but chances are in the near future honey will be a rare delicacy that will cost an arm and a leg to get a jar of.

At that point, it will probably be made from hand-pollination, so it won't even be as good as the real stuff anyways.

How do you harvest honey from a beehive without killing all the bees through starvation anyway. Don't they eat it?

Do they just make THAT much excess honey that you're fine to take this much of it without damaging the hive? Do you have to skip certain harvests so they can recover?

Yup, the Flow Hive shattered IndieGoGo records by meeting its $70k goal in under an hour and hitting $12m, then delivered all units on time as promised with no significant hitches.

The main objections to survive the 2015-2016 backlash that comes prior to people actually testing it out now come mostly from luddites among the beekeeping community, while most veteran beekeepers and ecologists have embraced and praised it, at the very least as introductory to personal and urban hives and complementary for mid-to-large operations.

Here's one 2017 overview that is considerably more measured than those of 2016:

I remember doing something like that in Skyrim.

Maven Black-Briar wanted me to burn only 3 of the hives just to send a message -- not to disrupt Riften's entire economy -- but when Raulio Shattershits is on the job, he does it all. the. way!

There's nothing wrong with actually eating insects. That's how junglebros in Indochina and Guatemala were able to get enough sustainable protein to build advanced ancient civilizations. The analogue is societies that eat lobsters, crabs, oysters, and snails, which have been considered icky by others such as the Indigiones in Boston Harbor when British colonists arrived and resorted to eating lobster when the latter couldn't grow enough food.

You must bow before and after approaching your hive and remove caps using a knife folded 100000+ times with only a single downward stroke. Every time a hive dies, you must remove a finger joint.

>In the state of Arizona alone they estimate between 4 and 5 million wild Africanized hives with each hive containing an average of 40- to 60,000 bees. So you can do the math. *doc continues without more numbers*

I won't make a crack about them being over-optimistic about Americans and math. Instead, I am happy that they challenge their American audience that if they *cannot* do the math, then they will not get their hand held.

Indeed, by not giving the answer away, we imply to our audience that this is the minimum expectation for being of adequate capability in our society. Maybe then we won't have 98% of Americans polled saying they are smarter than average, or thinking that algebra is "advanced" math.

I dunno, I haven't tried it yet but I've heard from two beekeeping buddies that have that it tends to work once or twice and then the bees leave those frames alone. I've also heard complaints about clean up on some reviews.
Still, full marks for innovation.

Thats a paperwasp nest you fucktard. Honeybees can't build superstructures like this, they find a a tree with an alcove or some nook or cranny or non-moving branches and build a natural sheets of waxcomb from bodily-produced materials.

Wasps don't produce honey. This is why it is called a nest, not a hive, because they only rear young and expand the nest in their combs.

My question to anyone with beekeeping experience. What specifically, would happen if one simply kept beeboxes and a huge field of flowers and left the bees alone.
No harvesting, no smoking, no nothing.

Goddam

I would be very interested in at least have some hives like somekind of hobby or something but I'm terrified about the idea of these little fuckers crawling around my skin or biting me.

I know that is actually rare that they do that and there are ways to deal with that, but still, the idea sends shivers down my spine.

Doesn't have any hallucinogenic effects, just regular honey. Those guys aren't bee keepers, they are honey hunters. They don't have managed hives, they search in the jungles of south east asia for wild honey bees, some of entirely different species than apis mellifera. This can be a dangerous job, on cliff sides or more than 100 feet up a tree.

Humans are basically godzilla to bees. Massive great lumbering beasts that show up out of nowhere, wreck their buildings, and leave without giving any reason.

>>1718272
They do.

>>1723085
To a much lesser extent, but yes, they and mosquitoes have their own little niches that turn problematic if unfilled.

>>1624102
We're trying to kill off mosquitoes >>> mosquitoes become resistant to pesticides
We try to kill off plant pests >>> bees die from herbicides

They've banned different substances, but the wild bees keep dying. Its not the "kept bees" that are the problem, it's the bees that have fewer places to live and less food that doesnt cause them nerve damage.

From Wikipedia:

Many of the solitary wasps are parasitoidal, meaning that they raise their young by laying eggs on or in other insects (any life stage from egg to adult). Unlike true parasites, the wasp larvae eventually kill their hosts. Solitary wasps parasitize almost every pest insect, making wasps valuable in horticulture for biological pest control of species such as whitefly in tomatoes and other crops.

That in the video where hornets.
Wasps are actually pretty bro-tier.
They pollinate a little here and there, lay their eggs in pests and slowly clean up carcasses.
They do a lot of small useful things and really only annoy when they don't understand that you want your steak for yourself

no, its more or less flavorless, at most it tastes like the wax for old fashioned wax candies.

>My question to anyone with beekeeping experience. What specifically, would happen if one simply kept beeboxes and a huge field of flowers and left the bees alone.
>No harvesting, no smoking, no nothing.
First off it depends on the bees and their situation. Ideally if their numbers are low and there's enough food they will try to produce a queen unless they already have one. Second, it depends on if you've already somewhat pushed them towards the beeboxes or not. They would probably choose a fallen log or something over the beeboxes since it would be closer and more enclosed. Either way, at that point they will continue to grow until they reach a certain point where they feel like the area they are in is not suitable for the amount of bees being reared and the amount of honey they can store which would cause a swarm situation.

Assuming you had infinite boxes stacked on top of each other with infinite frames and entrances you would most likely see them staying in that spot just ever expanding until either their food storage runs out, the winter kills a bunch of them, all the flowers die due to some freak weather, or the queen dies and they can't produce another one for some reason.

TL;DR it would most likely result in a swarm and them leaving due to an inadequate living area after long enough time staying there or some sort of food issue.

This is the only relevant thing I have.

Hour long documentary. Some parts are fucking horrifying. At several points he pulls out honeycomb that is the volume of a man. Killer Bees are no fucking joke. There's a reason they use goddamn flamethrowers to fight them in south america.

I met a local apiary master in my area. We chatted for a while and it seems like cool shit. He's the big bee man of the wildlife sanctuary I live next to. I want to start doing this shit. I love honey bees.

>>1726470
If they swarm, do they leave some behind? Can they produce another queen and have two viable hives: the one that stays and the one that strikes out on its own?

>>1726511
