Looks like fun but not sure it's $9.99 worth of fun..

That's like a Canadian quarter in 1965 dollars
And no I ain't buying it either

OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ALL! I ordered a beehive last week! I'll be picking up 3lbs (apx 10k) of bees in March and bringing them home. Only mildly terrified lol but also very excited.

Aw Bee Envy........ .....Good Luck @Suki @JM is our Resident Bee Keeper.........when he had his old place.....

Actually.. got a new hive this last spring... but with divorce and life didnt have a chance to capture a swarm. This year though... fingers crossed!
Then it's back to making splits and building colonies!

Being in such a close proximity to your neighbors be prepared for colony death due to neighbors use of bug sprays in the warmer months.

Yeah I know. Good news is most of the people on this street rent and give zero fucks about upkeeping outside. I'm planting native grasses and flowers in the easement shortly and I may "accidentally" plant them the full length of the row since no one ever really goes back there. The golf course is a concern but that's all low mowed grass, since it's a public course they don't do much by way of landscaping and making it look pretty. With a typical flight radius of up to 5 miles in any direction they could end up basically anywhere in the city though. We'll see. The kids school does a lot with the agriculture department of the university the campus is on and they've got several huge hives all around the university campus and a big focus on native preservation, and that's only 3 lights down from us so I think it should be pretty ok.

Ragdoll? She’s lovely.

She's actually a Siberian forest cat, though they do have some similarities in looks to ragdolls for sure. I'm very allergic and they're as close to hypoallergenic you can get with a cat, I have zero issues even with her cuddling up close to my face. 1000% glad I took the chance cause we all love her tremendously.

No. Mostly yellow jackets and hornets. There's a local beekeeper club around here I call when I run into honey bees
