I have 4 bee hives on my land that i let them live. They polinate my garden plus they say the bee's are disappearing in some parts of our country. Normally i would kill them but i worry about doing that now. I think its time to coexsist if we can get along. I have two rock gardens which i hate with bee nests in them. I hate to destroy them. I know i can't save the world nor the enviroment but i can save my part of it i hope.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Bill, the honeybees are what we have been losing the past few years. This year was probably one of the worse I've seen around here. The drought was bad enough but our fruit trees also suffered from the lack of pollination. Those are the bees we need to protect. Honeybees normally won't bother you unless you go after their hive. I have stood within five feet of their hives and not had a problem. I know a bee keeper who said he has been stung hundreds of times by honeybees, but he said that was because he had disturbed the nest
From what Craig described of his nest I believe he had hornets. Those are a lot more aggressive and don't pollinate like honeybees.
Too many people are to quick to want to get rid of a nest without checking to see what they are. You are wise to protect your hives as long as they are not detrimental to your livelyhood.

There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
