New beekeeper. Retired US Citizen living in Nicaragua. We have a coffee farm where there are at least 20,000 coffee trees within a 2 mile radius. Each coffee farm has many fruit trees (mango, citrus, guva, etc) as the best coffee is produced in shade. I have cleared an area so my girls can have sun. Honey is exported to Europe at $700 a barrel.
welcome. you have managed to combine my two favorite things! not in the same cup.... :-)
do you plan this as a hobby or money maker? you don't sound very "retired"!
Thanks... Coffee and bees are a hobby that provide joy and money and something to do. I am learning... like what happens if I put some hives with a friends pea nuts.

Quotelike what happens if I put some hives with a friends pea nuts.
you make a gazillion dollars and free up shelf space in everyones pantry? :evil:
lol! I need my daily dose of coffee and seeing the honeybees at work in my gardeb :-D
I get the shakes when I don't get my coffee caffeine or when I don't see the honeybees, and this is from someone who's crazy about the honeybees but has no hive, lol!
Cheers to your coffee plantation. I am a big shopper of Costco and they had this absolutely delicious Nicaraguan coffee blend....yummmmmmmm!
