[QUOTE="mischief, post: 7466, member: 333"] lol, because I had heard that they are always grumpy and very difficult to manage...chasing beeks and stinging others who happen to be nearby. With a neighbour who says she is allergic to bee stings, they would not be an option for me. Pure bred Italians according to Fraz, are wonderful to deal with. The other tidbit I gleaned, was that first cross hybrids can also be grumpy, but thats not too much I hear about and dont know how often this crops up. (Big fat sigh.....) So, to answer my question, you are saying that hives will swarm to the point where they do not survive. ....Unfortunately (silly me), I do feel the need to ask if this is from personal experience/heard from a personal experience? An unfounded comment Trevor and unworthy of you. No, your comment is trolling and lowers the whole tone of the forum, shame on you. [/QUOTE]
