Fishing For Bees
США
Добавлен 20 фев 2022
This Channel is a VLOG about my adventures and practices in Honey Bee Swarm Catching. I will share the ups and the downs, the successes and the failures in a hobby and "sport" I find so exciting. I am a beekeeper myself and I started beekeeping with free feral bees I caught in a Swarm Trap I built myself. My focus is on catching feral bees.
So, whether you are already a swarm catcher, interested in learning where and how to start , or just curious about this exciting activity, my hope is you will find this Channel informative and entertaining.
