I started keeping honey bees this year.
This is actually pretty fun.
I have 2 hives of Italian bees.
They are very tame and mellow.
I'm a total rookie at it but have yet to get stung from these.
When I've gotten stung in the past it was because I didn't know they were on me.
The pain and swelling only lasts 20-30 minutes for me so I've never really been scared of bees.
Hope to harvest enough honey next year for gifting and would really dig making some honey granola bars.
Any body else do this?
