Is beekeeping covered anywhere on this thread? I’m thinking it might be a good project for my grandson.

>>>Is beekeeping covered anywhere on this thread?<<<

I know it was mentioned several times - but I don’t think we went into detail.

That is an excellent undertaking for him! Something we are going to need more and it provides an excellent barter item as well as survival contributor.

I haven’t had a hive of bees for over 20 years - (my wife is very allergic to them and really prefers I not do it)

I don’t know if A.I. Root is still in business, but they were a really big supplier of all things bees, back when I was doing it.

He might find the following link of interest...

http://www.beeculture.com/

Lots of resources there.
