BeeKeepers?

[BigJon]

Wondering if there are any BeeKeepers in the house? I am thinking of getting a couple hives going on our place in Menard County on the river. I have checked the forums but no luck and have also been checking the internet with some promise. Not many keepers in my area, so was hoping I could find someone to chat with. Thanks in advance, Jon.

I kept bees for several years, and its a lot of fun. There are different personalitites to hives. Some are very docile and otheres are more aggressive. ITs really easy to do, and a lot of fun. Get a smoker, a bee suit and enjoy. I got a couple of hives by taking them out of walls for people. If you want some "free" bees, make a post to Craigs list that you are willing to remove the bees.
