How do I begin beekeeping, you ask? There is a lot of tips in the art of keeping bees that everyone should know before venturing off on their on. I would research for more information and facts or maybe some classes on the subject to get started with. But I am going to provide you some information to start off your interest.

The first thing you need to is verify your regional laws to see if any restrictions apply in the area that you would like to put your colonies. certain nearby neighborhoods and metropolitan areas have specific laws that you have to follow in order to keep bees. So don't get in difficulties, check the laws for your area.

Second thing is to check with your residents to let them realize what you are considering to do and promise them that you have gotten all facts and knowledge to manage your hives with there health and safety in mind as well as your on. You don't need to stay next door to families that are going to be reluctant to exit there place to live on count of you, so it helps you to always keep gracious neighbors not adversaries. Also, offer them some of the honey once you remove a batch, this can also help.

The third thing is, if your are setting the hive next to tenants is to construct a fence at least six foot high to block the field of vision of the colonies. This not only helps the reactions of the others who live nearby by not being capable to actually see the hive but it maintains the bees flying over head high of passing people. In addition place the exits to hive away from the others who live nearby. Bees tend to fly out of the hive in the path of the entrance to forge.

Forth thing is always retain lots of new water for the bees to keep them from following your neighbors kids in there pool. So to keep your bees from going to the neighbors supply them every thing they require so they want have to leave the hive.
