What do we know about these guys? They always make these nests around our property.

Not sure I want one in the greenhouse.

Is it just me or is that a 7 foot bottle of trouble?

Thanks for the feedback. Would you hesitate to put a beehive near a pond for the same reason? I would expect the microclimate around the pond will be more humid due to evaporation but I’m not certain how much. Is there a humidity goal with beehives? 40%-60%?

USDA zone 6a. 4 seasons. cool to cold temperate. Winter would probably expect some ice to form on the pond but not enough to walk on.

Is a beehive on a floating raft a bad idea? Hear me out:

- Full Sun is easily achieved.

- Disrupts lifecycle of hive beetles.

- Source of water available and close.

- A moat for predators and excluding neighbors and kids.

- The hive raft could be pulled by a rope to shore or to the middle with a pulley system. Or to an edge for wind protection etc by season.

I know it’s not a slam dunk. Risk of sinking being catastrophic but what else?

Can the people with actual bee experience tell me why this is a dumb idea?

Thanks!

I have not had that one. Really good? We are on the same page with the cab with it though. If you look at my pic there is a bottle in the background-Caymus.

Isn't it a great feeling? I couldn't shut up after I got mine up the first time. And now I'm super happy I was able to recover it after a failed software update

Heading to Casper, WY for our 10 year anniversary in September. Any suggestions for a good dinner location to take my wife? @caitlinlong
