Same. Three. We don’t produce for sales. Home use, friends, and donations. Considering more.
I have three very happy, healthy hives. Planning to double up this coming spring. How about you all?

I only take what we need, I don't rob the hives dry. And we use for home and give to friends. I get asked all the time why I don't sell and market my honey - the main reason is it's a "hobby" not a business!
Yeah! Those bees will work you even if you think you’re the keeper; word, THEY ARE!
Best to leave at least one super on the hive body for them to over-winter, but each hive can be different and that can cause robbing, if they get to weak to defend that super. Bees live in their own world for sure ♡
I keep the bees and the bees keep me.
Exactly this.
