The bees are only warning us as to what is happening to humanity and ecosystems. I don’t know this from a controversial film or website. We have lived it. Our tipping point was when we painted the house for resale, a chemical factory less than a mile from the house blew up, and we got rained on by pesticide when they sprayed for mosquitoes, all within a couple of weeks of our move to Cali. It was all downhill from there. What is the tipping point for the bees or us as a species? What is / was your family’s tipping point? It is called TILT.

Treatment free hives are not experiencing the same collapses as treatment hives in urban areas. Why? The massive reduction in chemicals they are exposed to.

This is bigger than bees. They are just a cornerstone species warning us. What will be the pollinators’ tipping point?

Thank you Susan for posting.

Susan, I went today, and we decided to leave the bees be since they are deep in a pipe.

However, I do have other questions about laws and such.

Thanks!

Susan thank you! Those reasons are why I joined Honey Love. As you get to know me, you will understand why. I completely understand and get it!

Those are great points about the top bar. I am getting pictures and more information on Wednesday. We can decide our plan then.

I will keep notes and read books. I seem to immerse myself in anything I learn and catch on quickly.

Thank you so much Susan! I will call you on Wednesday after I have more information. :-). I am super excited!

Susan, thank you for responding. I have been researching for awhile, but this is all still very new.

#1 The colony mentioned above is likely already established with comb as she mentioned this months ago. She wants it to stay on location after removal from the large drainage pipe. I do realize that that this will take experience to prevent trauma to the bees and ourselves. I would love some help with this. It is not urgent, but I would like to move them within the next few weeks. I will be getting pics this week after meeting with her on location.

#2 I understand all of the equipment needed and will be emailing http://www.piercemieras.com/ for foundationless frames. I saw those yesterday and they were so cool!

#3 The garden has an organic policy and with hives on site, participants will more likely abide by the policy.

I have so many questions like…. laws, regulations, preventing theft (IE has been experiencing this), etc. I really would love a mentor and will pay it forward one day.

Thank you!
