No BEE section?

Some people have a hectic reaction to beestings and others (like me) are way more tolerant. But 2,443 is a bit much...

I keep bees...I get stung... sometimes I hardly notice and sometimes I will get a nasty welt and once I even literally felt sick. Interesting how it is always different. I have never been stung more than once in the same day.

I won't die but I do swell up pretty gnarly. Last time I was stung, it was the center of my forehead and both my eyes swelled shut. Then I was stung in the same place 2 weeks later with even worse results. I had one fly up my sleeve on my motorcycle and I had a fat hand for about a week.

Thanks Amiga for the invitation

Guess I am more of a lumper, makes it easier to post a question - or look for an answer - in the right section if there are not so many to look through. It seems like many things could be placed in a Hive Maintenance section. And maybe a section titled Honey, for harvesting and use of products.

Love the idea of a beekeeping "Calendar", although that may vary considerably by region.

About the beekeeping "calendar". There could be a section called "chores", or something more fancy or bee-ish, and then each month could have a thread. The original post in each thread could be whatever basic chores need to bee done that month (yes, different regions would have to do things differently), or seasons, go by seasons, then each region could access that season's work and prep for that season when it is getting close or hits. Ppl in Alaska would spend more time in the winter thread and have more involved prep for winter, and ppl like me in the South would spend more time in the summer thread and have more involved prep for the hotter months.
Just an idea.

Thank you for the suggestion! @Nifty?

Been a year and I think the way it got done was just about right on

Thank you for the feedback, @Latestarter! I'm very happy to see how well the new section is doing and I enjoy reading the threads there, although I'm not in a position to keep bees myself, I'm interested in the process and enjoy reading about it and seeing everyone's pics!

I was over in TEG reading through a discussion about bees and I thought that it might be interesting to learn more about them and hive care.
I thought that the best place to look would be here... but there isn't a section for bees.

Do yall think that there is enough interest to get a section added for bees here?

Howdy Ya'll! A discussion @ bees would be great. Especially one on honey bees, bee keeping & all.
"All Things Bee's" for the in's & out's on bee's . yea, that sounds like a great idea. oh, & pics. I love pictures.
