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.
