Glenster,I've been keeping honey bees for more than 40 years,I learned Bee Keeping from an old gentleman in Illinois and also took care of all his bees in his later years with much enjoyment from the bees,many many tranquil,educating, relaxing hours spent with them.One of God's most amazing little creatures!Not to mention reaping all the profit from Honey sales and gifting to family and friends.But bee keeping is nothing like it was years ago with all of the Contagious Diseases, Parasites, and Pests.American foulbrood, European foulbrood, tracheal mites, Varroa mite, Chalkbrood, small hive beetles,Africanized honeybees.Then there is Chemicals May Be Killing the Honeybees,many believe that our increasing use of chemical pesticides and herbicides, which honeybees ingest during their daily pollination rounds.Also there is the (genetically modified crops), which may generate pollen with compromised nutritional value.It may be that the build-up of both synthetic chemicals and genetically modified crop pollen has reached a “tipping point,” stressing bee populations to the point of collapse.CCD (colony collapse disorder)Scientists are still searching for cause of Honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder! I raise my own Bees and Queens from my own gentle high honey producing stock.In the spring,early summer I generally raise several Queens and new colonies every year. Anyway I'm all for anyone who wants to start keeping honey bees,as we need all the honey bees we can get around the country to get them built back up to what they were years ago.And no better way than new individual's starting to keep bees and new colonies.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
