From a bee's standpoint, where would be the best location for a bee farm? I'm thinking Colorado. The wide viraty of temperate zones, along with the many wildflowers make Colorado seem a good choice. I lived in Alaska for fifteen years, and some of the best honey I ever had came from bees which had to be imported every year...not gonna be any Africanized bees up there unless they shop with Eddie Baur. Chemical question....I recently watched a program suggesting that the agressive AHB homes on the co2 contained in human breath....a tube that ventelated the breath away from the beekeeper seemed to keep the AHB from becomming agitated. I am in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. A friend and I are going to set up our first hives in Northern Alabama come spring. I am looking for information and exposure to beekeeping. I am also a Photographer....and will take pictures of your apiary in trade for info/materials. I'll be taking a photo trip to Ashville, NC....If you are in between DFW and Ashville drop me a note please... .thanks Jim Shepard [log in to unmask]
