I would love to keep bees but my mrs has it as a strict no-no. I would go for the biobees approach aswell if I were to keep them. It looks a simpler system.

Damn, my dad had loads I books about bee keeping. All hilarious pics in them because they are all older books from the 70s. We had 12 hives and sold honey in the local butcher my grandad worked at. I don't live with my parents anymore on account if being 34 so I can't see which books he has.

Sadly I got stung by a bee (trod on it) when I was 2 or 3 and now have a bad ass immune response to the venom.

Ill back up the geese as good guard animals too. We has a breeding pair to sell at the same butchers mentioned above. Wish I'd paid more attention to all this when i was younger, I miss it all now and I can see how useful a lot of these skills would have been now.

At least you had the experience when you were younger, and I'll bet it would all come flooding back when you needed it. I think you can get epi-pens for bee stings now.
