Oh wow this is a lot of really cool information. I can't wait to invest in a farm and a bunch of bees. Last night I realized that there is nearly no mead in the USA and I don't know that I ever drank a glass but one at a Renaissance festival. It'd be cool to produce enough to brand and sell since there's probably a lot of people who would love it.
Thank you for your comment!
give us updates on your progression! this seems awesome!
i sure will! whenever i get a farm going and a bunch of beez ill make a whole post about making mead. i hope i can get a business going with it
if youre serious about having beez, i have another share for you id like you to have.
the basic idea for this is that after about a year of the beez living in your log hive. the honey will drip down with the help of gravity, and so, you will not need to gaz the beez in order to retrieve the honey. it will be natural. and in accordance with nature.
this guy shuts the hole up though, which is stupid. but he probably thinks he knows. who knows, i dont. but yeah a hole is needed, and a container, in order to never disturb the bees.
