We are grateful you are here

It’s 9:30pm here in New Zealand right now and I just got my first ever hive and placed it at home. I put them here about 2 hours ago and the sun is well and truly set but I’ve just checked how they’re doing and they look like they’re bearding or preparing to swarm or something. What’s going on?

I want to get 3 honey bee hives for my 1 acre garden, will that be enough pollen for them?

I am planting an acre of garden (fruit trees, those are young and won’t be much for a couple years) flowers and mostly food plants. Both for pollination and honey I’d like to keep bees, I thought I would buy a hive or two and maybe leave a hive open for wild bees? Will my…

This is a bee, right? Just want to confirm it’s not some sort of wasp or hornet before I decide how to get them out of my house.

Had a wax moth infestation on one of my improperly stored hives. A few frames still had honey and so I threw them into the yard and let other bees find and rob them.

Newbie question! Are you able to tell from the viscosity if this honey from my hive was made from nectar or from the early days of me feeding them? Tastes delicious and like honey to me but I realized it was possibly made from sugar syrup due to my mistake on adding the second super too early.

I have always wanted to get into beekeeping. Every year a new swarm of bees arrives and sets up home in one of the several water irrigation boxes outside my place. How do I go about putting them into a beebox?

So let's say I get the clothes, the smoker, and everything. Is the next step to just go to the hive, prop open the lid, smoke em, slowly cut the comb out, put them in the frames, and then attach rubber bands around the frames to keep them secure for a while? Or should I…

Looking for someone in Houston Texas who would be interested in relocating this hive I stumbled across today. This isn’t my property but the homeowners don’t know what to do and were considering killing them.
