Nasty Bees

[jayj200]

listen to iddee; flow over bees get pissy

There is a difference between pissy and mean. When they  sting ta fifty times they are AHB's

even if you have a full suit on. they hit the suit hard, a lot, when they land on your vial or,
one hundred swarm the vial they are not pissy girls are mean.

10 and Jay,
Are the hives that are real pissy your most productive?
My father in law took a swarm from my dad when it swarmed into a small tree right in front of the front door. He used a hose to ball them up and we put them in a trash bucket due to a 150 people were just arriving for a christening party for my daughter. My dad kept warning my father in law that they would bee hot and they were but they were the most productive hive he ever had.
Just wondering if you have experienced the same thing.

I doubt it. this state has decided "all feral hives are AHB's" this is what they say not me.
I can only what the state agent told me.
look at the agreement they want you to sign.
states that you must re-queen every 6 months. What?
some where buried in state literature it says you cannot label  your honey as honey.  you must call it some other name. say sweet stuff.

Jay,
That re queening every 6 months was one of the things that we fought to get rid of.
Why can't you call your honey, honey?

jim, they aren't one of my most productive hives.  they did ok in the first flows, though.  i've got enough hives that did as well or better with much less aggressive bees to be ok with eliminating them from the gene pool.

Yes, Jay, that is what we were contesting. Notice that out of all of the states clubs, only Jaxbees contested it. That was really surprising to me. It was a lot worse in the original form.
