Default Re: Honey Bees

I had honey bees for a number of years. The investment would probably be around $300 to get started. You can order bees through the mail and I would recommend getting a Russian queen as they are resistant to varroa mites. I never wore a bee suit I was always gentle with the bees but occasionally I'd get stung. I had to drop the hobby because I was getting increasingly more allergic to the stings.
