Beekeeping Basics: Getting Started
For more videos and information, visit: cookingupastory.com In a way, local beekeeping can be an extension of the mantra think globally, act locally. Even before filming Call of the Honeybee about an entomologist who works with bees, and is attempting to breed more disease resistant queens, I found myself drawn to bees, their wonderful honey, and their precarious plight in recent years. So, learning more about urban agriculture that includes managing (if that’s the right word) bees feels like a good thing to learn how to do.

@werewolf3335 the sting doesn’t hurt, it;s the release of venom into your skin that brings pain. It burns a little bit at the source of the sting, and remains a little sore, but goes away rather quickly. unless that is if you are allergic, then it’s a whole different story.

Good video – hope it gets more people into it, because they are not only amazing they are super important. If they go we ALL are going to have to change are eating habits.

@Vule34 Bees are amazing critters. The more I learn about them, the more I want to know. Plus, the honey! A very *sweet* bonus. =)

I’m a firm believer in bee products. When I was a young teenager, an old college professor taught me the benefits of them. I have been taking bee pollen, bee propolis, and honey ever since then. I can confirm I rarely get sick and a great food source. Additionally, beekeeping is an artwork and a historic barter item.
