Not too bad, but super interesting!

Bees are absolutely fascinating. Whenever I get a house in my life, I want enough land to grow crops and raise some bees. I'm sure it feels very rewarding to know you're helping them out. We would be completely screwed if the bees went extinct or something

@Tjololo, you just need to teach your bees to turk and you'd be all set.

Just ran malaware bytes. Seems to be fixed now. Thanks for your help. I wasn't insinuating that this site has popups, just didn't know what the hell I had done wrong. It's always my fault!

Thanks for all the help!

instead of a love button we need an eye roll button

OK, maybe not everyone is nice here. But people keep the rotten apples under control for the most part.

They're so much fun. Here's the album I have of this past summer: http://imgur.com/a/f2BKj

I used to hate bees, but since I started keeping them, I've started learning more and more. The more I learn, the more fascinating they are. For example: They do a dance to tell where the flowers are. The direction of their dance in respect to "up" (IE the angle from "up"), the length of the dance, and the speed of the dance tells the others how to find the flowers using trigonometry (up is the sun, angle from up is the angle from the sun, length of wiggle is log(flight time))

I have a friend who has a hive in her house. Really cool. They have it built into a wall.

we used to have a hive, but the city freaking fined us so I had to give it away to a buddy

That is amazing! What great pictures

It's quite neat how they operate. They provide our environment with such great benefits too ;w; I don't know if anyone here saw the episode of Shark Tank where that guy was selling bee hive setups? But I think that helped raise some awareness to it. Apparently Damon bought several setups from the guy. I would just love some land to help these guys prosper. <3

Super excited to see people planning for future bees. Its been a dream of mine for a long time.

Yeah it's a great investment imo, especially with how the pesticides have been severely hurting the bees. If more people stepped up and got their own bee setups going, we could have a chance at helping them prosper. Our food depends on them so it makes sense to me.

I've personally considered growing bee friendly plants/flowers. My apartment is very small so I could only do what I can on my balcony. But if I could grow them a place they can forage that would be quite nice... We get winters here so they'd probably like the extra food haha.
