Fascinating. Thanks Jim!!! I love watching/learning how other people in other places keep bees, so interesting.
I've spent a bit of time in that part of the world and to be honest I don't think I ever saw a honeybee (wasn't really looking for them at the time ;)), but I do remember the mosquito's were every bit as ferocious :).
All beekeeping is local. Thanks again. More please.
