The question about ferral bees in bee trees. I haven't seen 1 in the timber in years. I have seen them in trees in people's yards. They are bees that have "swarmed" from someone's bee hive. Once in a tree or a wall they are very difficult to remove. Trees have to be cut and split, walls have to be torn apart. We probably recover close to a dozen swarms in the spring. If you get them after July 4th, it is tough to get them established and get them to produce enough honey to survive our winter's. Yes I've been stung, sometimes 20-50 times a day. Do you know only the female bees have stingers. The male bees have reproductive organs on their rear ends and cannot sting you. When the female honey bee stings you she dies. When the male bee mates with a virgin queen, he will die also. If you are thinking about keeping bees, find a class to take and an older beek to mentor you. I've never met 1 who would not help you.
