Grrrr, just a couple of hours after that posting, I gotta call from a friend that is on the local PD. Said the person around the corner can't enjoy their pool cause the guy around the corner has bees and they are visiting it. Being the guy around the corner and that I have been to busy getting bees, that I am outta space on my side yard and there are 4 (only 2 up to a few hrs ago, it was 1 til yesterday) out in front of my house by the garage. I guess the outta sight outta mind thing is worth a ton, cause now they have a place to point a finger at and say "they're his!" Though I can't get the little GPS units on the bees legs to prove if they are or are not. Not trying to be a pill, but so be it, I'll move some outta here so they can't complain, though they are off the honey list! Wait, they were never on it. While my buddy can't find any city ords that say I can't have them, I figure it's only a matter of time til someone slaps the "nuisance" label on them. Hmmmm, does that work both ways? Perhaps their kids yelling, screaming and slashing in the pool is a nuisance for me!? :lookout: I have...ok, do you really want to know how many here? Let's just say more than 10. I know, I know, let the flames come...Anyhow, I have some nucs, some singles including 3 or 4 that are ready to go to doubles, 1 double currently, 2 triples, and 2 quads. The city bees are smoking my bees in the country, cause no one is watering anything in the country right now. I guess what I am wondering is what would you leave behind, and what would you move out? My thoughts are the nucs and weaker singles need to be close by to stay on top of feeding. the trips and quads are booming enough that I expect a very good year off them, so kinda don't want disrupt them since they obviously have a great source going on. The main thing I will do is move the ones off the driveway outta here to take away from the casual observation.
Thoughts?
