I kept every summer for years 20 colonies of honeybees. Stopped
raising honeybees because of mites and diseases destroying the bee
colonies. I didn't see any honeybees last summer in my yard. When my
basswood trees flowered they used to be covered with bees and each
tree would hum with bees. No humming last summer. Saw bumblebees
last summer though not many. Anyone raising bumblebees? It can be
done and there is at least one book I know of how to raise them.
Just ordered it.
