Are those white bee clothes bee keepers wear sting proof? One guy told me it wasnt. He said bees didnt like white clothes so they dont try to sting it. Any truth or just slinging the bull At me?
That might actually work at the right time of year and the right variety of honey bee. I knew an old timer who is dead and gone now that would put his hives in front of his door when he went on vacation. This plays off natural fear more than anything but could work to a degreeIf anything bees can at least make good home defense. I always imagined if I had one and someone was trespassing I'd fire a beanbag round at the side of the hive and let the bees run him off for me!
No, I hate bugs. But anytime I see someone selling raw honey on the side of the road I buy some. It's tasty and good for me.
Where can I find it?itchin,
You ought'a try SOURWOOD BLOSSOM HONEY, out of West Texas. = It's so thick & DARK that it is an EXCELLENT substitute for MOLASSES in a lot of baked goods.
(People often asks me what is "different " about my gingerbread. = It's just the SOURWOOD HONEY.)
I also mix it 50-50 with clover honey for waffles/pancakes, etc., too.

What is the biggest cause of hive death? Just curious. I've thought about keeping one in my backyard

Louski,
Do you sell honey?? - IF you do, let me know when, how much per pound & what kind, PLEASE.

You can do one but most conventional traditional wisdom, says to have (maintain) two hives. That will substantially increase your likelihood of success at keeping them alive and ability to sustain them. (You'll need an experienced mentor).I've thought about keeping one in my backyard
