Question for Beekeepers
Posted on 2/16/14 at 5:31 pm

So I'm starting a new hobby and have a few questions.
I have 3 hives about 30 feet from my Purple Martin house. Any beekeepers out there know if my martins will wipe out my bees? They normally feed on high flying insects, but I'm concerned that the birds are going to do damage.
Thanks.

You're a good man. Beekeeping is a dying vocation and I understand that the USA is in danger of bee's going away ( maybe not in our lifetime). I did a little research because I've never thought about it, but without bees this country is in trouble.

Don't want to hijack..., BUT. What's the best way for one to get in to beekeeping with absolutely no background in the craft or connections?

I have always wanted a few hives as well...always been a bit scared, though...
