    In the end of the article she mentions asking other beekeepers to keep their bees well fed. What exactly do bees actually eat?

      Honey bees eat pollen, nectar, and honey. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some kinds of bees that eat other things, though.

    Robber bees. Hehe that makes me chuckle. Do they have white and black stripes with itty bitty masks?

    The cunt should give the honey up instead of trapping bees.

      You do realise that commercial honey producers don’t trap bees right?

        Not physically. They just make sure they are in so much crippling debt, they have no choice but to work for the man. 😔

      Bees have been domesticated for over 1000 years. There is no need to trap wild ones.
