OK so it is not alot but for my first time doing this & afarid of bees I am overcomming me fears and ............(Singing & Dancing) I got some honey, I got some honey...woo woo woo. :D
I have noticed they are however bringing in alot of Pollin so I am wandering if I need to start being concerned if there is too much pollen going on? Sofar the dogs are doing ok they come and sit with me while I observe and check the inside only Texas has gotten stung several times but he comes right back with me and my youngest pup Petra just as I was doing real good she stirred them up good so had to leave but other than that they are fine & as for me .........(Singing & Dancing) I got some honey, I got some honey...woo woo woo.
Ok OK Calm down before you fall face first into it and get all sticky :lol:
I dont have many friends but animals ...can ya tell loll :D
u made me lol :)
I wouldn't worry about pollen. They'll use it to make more bees.
I can really relate to your excitement. It was the same for me when I started keeping bees years ago. I was afraid of them at first, also. I overcame my fear quickly.
Isn't it just so much fun?

How much honey did you get so far? And isn't it yummy? :) The first batch always the best, cause you know your bees made it.

all for the pets here. Well guess my next purchase is an extractor for making the honey and packaging.
All that for the bees? Or some of it for other critters? I'm sure the bees WOULD love it though. :) They're all fun to spoil.
