I haven't even started with my first hive yet and already I'm a little disheartened. Nosema, Varroa mites, bee paralysis, deformed wing, dead colonies, aggressive bees, tainted honey, theft, vandalism, disagreements about BK-ing methods, et al.
Does anyone have anything good to say about beekeeping because so far it seems like a very depressing thing to be entering in to?
I expect things will improve when I actually get my hands on some bees this Spring so perhaps for now I should stop reading about it until I have some experience.
