I think I mentioned that in one of these- we are down south and it doesn't really get that cold here.

I have a question for you, would it be better to tackle this bug out sittuation by myself, or try to recrute several other folks, like minded, to build our own comunity?

Not sure why it looks grainy like that. They look much better here. High def isn't possible- As it is it takes me no less than 3 hours usually to upload a video, their is no way I could afford to put up the high def videos. I've already been "over the limit" with internet use several months now because of putting videos up.

does the plastic sheets you mentioned have a specific name? and i live in canada, would they be able to survive the winter, also would you think that the yeild of honey would be sufficient?

Quick question for a newbie. I'm planning on a couple hives for this coming spring. Will I be able to harest honey this first year or do I have to have them around for a year, then add the honey supers on top before I can harvest?

[SurvivalReport]

Really depends on your area, the amount of nectar flow, if it's dry that year, etc. When you need more space for the bees, you will NEED more space for the bees, so I advise having as many hive bodies around that you'll want for each hive early on. Sometimes in the spring the bee equipment places can get 3-4 weeks behind on orders. Good luck!

Are you a survivalist hehe?

[SurvivalReport]

Congrats! We ended up with a tad less than 50 lbs. that was it. Here recently we had more problems with wax moth and there larvae, sometimes need to win the Nobel peace prize that figures out how to control those buggers!

I collected 150 pounds of honey off of our hives this fall.
