beekeeper here, yup, you sure can. best recommendation is purchase a basic 10 frame langstroth hive. most farm and fleets sell them or you can orer on line from companies like dadant, mann lake, brushy mountain, rossman or kelley beekeeping. find a nearby tree that has southern exposure and mount a shelf about 12 feet off the ground and then strap the hive to the shelf and tree. also strap the cover down so racoons dont open it up. you can buy a commercial swarm lure to put in the hive, or, i use lemon grass oil. put 4 or 5 drops on a cotton ball and set it on top of the brood frames. refresh it every couple weeks. late april thru june is the most active swarm times. get the hive up in late march or april so the scout bees can find it, then when they swarm they should go to the hive. once the bees are in the hive, you will need to leave it there thru fall, or if you want to move it, you will have to move it 4 to 5 miles away, otherwise the bees will return to where the hive was placed. they make a swarm trap, but it is just a temporary house for the bees and they need to be relocated. generally 3 pounds of bees and a queen will sell for 130 dollars. you can also contact your county extension for a local beekeeper, they can either capture and remove the swarm , or they can set up a hive at your place, maintain it, and they will share the honey with you. it is a lot of work keeping bees, not as bad as raising cows tho..... my email is open if you need any other info.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
