RE: NO SPRAY ZONE: a new beekeeper's introduction and how spraying is dangerous to bees

Great Project! I looked into getting bees here in Texas so first tried to plant a bunch of flowers and bee loving food plants-they didn't fair well in the Texas heat. I was looking at those boxes From Australia you can just tap to remove honey, my other issue was critters. I have chickens so lots of lurking racoons...Good luck, I may rethink the bee project someday, keep educating people on the dangers of pesticides-that crap kills bees and eventually people...(I'm upvoting you with 15cent value, more than my previous 1cent value, so thanks for your work on that project)!

Yeah I don't know much about beekeeping in hot climates. There has to be something they naturally eat. We have chickens too, with a rock on the hives I don't think much is going to get in.

I have heard mixed things about the Flowhive. Seems really neat though. We just went traditional.
