    Bees

    Does anyone here raise bees?

    I don't raise them but there is a big ass hive out yonder and they seem to come back ever year. Wasps too. I don't mess with them since they are fantastic pollinators. I buy my honey from a local that raises them. 10 bucks a quart jar.

    I keep telling innkeeper that something sweet will be good for bartering is the shtf.

    Would love to try my hand at bees. And found grants for beekeepers. Might apply for one.

    You and Mrs Inor... She is planning on chickens, bees and goats if we ever get to AZ. I keep suggesting we should just stick with a pig and a cow. In the end, I expect we will have bees chickens and goats.
