[QUOTE="Mummzie, post: 7632, member: 5"] True, but also there are those whose primary reason for bees is pollinating their garden, and addiction to the lessons the bees can teach us. Post varroa, with the collapse of the feral bee population was when my beekeeping began. Amongst other things they have taught me to change my gardening style. But to be able to keep bees in an urban environment, I cannot allow their natural instincts. I have to protect them from the other inhabitants of the neighborhood, and attempt to keep them in the best health they can be. I have to learn beekeeping styles from those who have have successfully kept bees- and mostly its those who keep bees for profit. Lets face it- bees didn't evolve for an urban environment, but they make a pretty good effort at adapting to it. Learn and adapt to your own circumstances is my modus operandi. Nice post BTW. Credit to you. [/QUOTE]
