I was glamping in the New Paltz area this weekend and saw acre after acre of apple trees, lots of honey for sale signs but no hives. Are they all trucked in along with the honey?

I truck in over 800 colonies for pollination in and around New Paltz, Newburgh area.
Will be there Tuesday night to start if the weather cooperates.

They certainly are ahead of us by a week or two but I think this year is late in general.

Just got the calls, heading to New Paltz Monday to pull the bees back out. Bees leave for Chazy NY, Friday Morning.

Glamping? Not familiar w/ that term.

Just because you don't see hives doesn't mean they aren't there. You'll have to check labels to see where the honey is from. Of course.

What lengths some people will go to to retrieve a swarm.

It's a style of "camping" enjoyed by those who imagine they are actually staying in a luxury hotel.

Glam camping?

I thought he misspelled camping, some how, but the letters are too far apart on the key board.

ha.. i don't want to see any swarms up there. I've seen snakes, frogs, and giant millipedes though.

The only thing it lacks is room service and a hot tub.
