Rodeo bees

2012-02-28T13:42:21Z

In the Agventure area of the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo these bees are in what I call bee prison. They must stay almost three weeks here to help teach the public about honeybees. To help them, I have a feeder with sugar water+ honey b healthy and Nosevit. Also a plate with pollen substitute called Mega Bee. These were provided by Wabash Feed Co.-thanks Betty! I hope they are doing o.k. today. Friday is the first of my 3 days to be at the booth, and I look forward to seeing my bees that day.

Bees to Barry Farm

Geoffrey Smith is shown here last night getting ready to load up his 2 colonies purchased from me. His farm that is in Sugarland produces heritage hogs and free range eggs. These bees will add to what he and his wife and children produce along with their animals. I am proud to support small family farms like this with wild feral bees. He was very pleased with his purchase.

Honeybee Relocation-Med Center Area

2012-02-23T05:12:07Z

Big job, cost to the customer-$300.00. This is because of brick entry and large colony size. I had to use my machete and shovel in this job. Worked late to be sure to get the queen, lots of bees ran back but I got her in the bunch you see on the honeycomb in the back. Bees fine now here in Alvin.

Bee Relocation in South Houston 2/9/2012

2012-02-09T14:53:33Z

Near Fellows road these bees were quite fiesty! They are very special black bees(german bees) and I was Very careful during this removal, and they are doing well today. The genes carried in my truck yesterday are priceless, and the customer got all the honey she wanted. The bees had made so much though that I will be able to give away 20 lbs. today to folks who NEED it. Honey used to be only given as a gift, back when beekeeping was treated with the respect it deserved.Did you know that SOME folks who do what I do SELL the honey from the removals they do?tShame on them, this is against the LAW, yes the state law forbids this, watch out where you buy your honey!

Honeybees and chickens

2012-01-07T23:17:21Z

The flock of free range chickens patrol the area around the hives for any hive beetle larvae that happen to be in the soil around the hives. I do not have problems in my hives from this pest, or the other ones either. Wild bees are healthy bees, same as chickens, these chickens are a mix of jungle fowl, rhode island red, and french cochin.
