Bees

Bees can be rented, bought or caught. Caught is nice because it is free, but you have to do your homework and have all the gear ready and waiting. Rented is easy because the hive is fully managed, legally registered, inspected and all taken care of. Bought is in the middle in terms of effort and cost, it is all set up for you, but then you become a beekeeper. All three are good depending on your circumstances. 

Consider that honey is said to help hayfever sufferers and asthmatics if the honey is made from local pollens. No good buying honey from miles away to get the same properties. It is always going to be cheaper to buy from the supermarket, but you probably can't buy your local honey there made in a 5k radius. Having a hive in your garden is much much more than getting some honey, bees are cool and give all manner of benefits to your garden and all your neighbours.

There are various styles of beehives, frankly the bees don't care as much as beekeepers and the hives impact the beekeeper more than the bees. From an enjoyment standpoint, it is fantastic to have an observation window and it is very popular to be able to show people the inside of the hive.

Support

If you have obtained bees / hive / gear then you might be all set with some good books and You Tube; take it easy, go slow. But still it is great if you have people you can call when you need. From where on your property to site your hive, to having wasps come and kill some of the bees and steal their honey, there are decisions to make. Most of it is not rocket science and if you can find a local mentor who will help you all the better. We have to charge for our time in order to put food on the table like everyone else, but we are keen enthusiastic and available. The important thing is that we are local and we do house calls. Support can be about buying the right gear and making informed decisions. If you buy a hive we are not going to tell you how you have to manage it. But we will be happy to explain various pro's and con's and to tell you how we would manage it. The more you read on the subject of bees, the more you may find it is endless and that it is management as a whole; rather than certain individual steps which are considered taboo by opposing view points. Our preferred stance is a natural one with least exploitation and minimum stress for the bees as compared to the large operators providing for supermarkets and such like. For example we don't steal all the honey, we don't feed our bees sugar if we can avoid it, we try to leave them plenty of their own honey for winter so we only harvest any surplus they really don't need. The end goal is sitting on your deck watching 'Bee TV' its awesome, honey and wax are a bonus and awesome too.
