What is your reason for keeping bees?
maybe in a year or two if the bees and the weather give me a break i'll harvest some serious amount not the 180 odd pounds off two hives like this year!
Have you thought of asking Finman for advice?

Nothing to do with heat thenI like the engineering problem of combining a winter survival pod with a sugar refining plant.
I have a scientific mind and like the challenge of being able to work out how another lifeform, like the mind of a honeybee functions as a single entity but consist of 50 thousand bees and once i have discovered the formulae that governs their complex behavior then i will move on to the next challenge thats how the mind of a single entity like a SWMBO can come to 50 thousand random answers to any one problem
Because I have time to play and enjoy them.. and doing it successfully on the cheap (not nasty) is an intellectual challenge.
And I like honey. And doing my bit for the local environment. And my garden.
And it gets me out of the house.
