Better you than me!

I used to have one hive of the little wild black bees. They were more trouble than all the others put together.

Made more honey . . . but lots more trouble.

Now I've got Italian/Caucasian hybrids that are so gentle that I sometimes don't bother to suit up, just grab my smoker. Got 18 pounds off the hive in the main honeyflow this spring.

I'd rather have less honey and less trouble!
