Gwinnett Master Gardener - Class of 2010

It’s Time to Order Bees

Posted on by

Gardeners who don’t keep bees?  Seems odd to me.  It’s like being a gardener who doesn’t compost, peanut butter without jelly, Laurel without Hardy, …… You get the idea. I am often asked:  How much trouble is it to keep honey bees?  Not much trouble at all I say.  But just like being a good owner of any garden or livestock, we want to be the best steward we can of the life entrusted to our care. “Being a good beekeeper starts with having good stock.” If you start off with bad bees, you will have a lot of extra trouble.  Bad bees are sickly, ornery, and don’t produce enough honey to share.  Good bees are healthy, happy, and a pleasure to work with. “So where do I find these good bees?” you say.  Well, you can collect a swarm in the spring.  You could get your bees from some…

Come Grow with Us!
