A friend has been getting bees and stinging herself to treat her MS. She is
pleased with the results so far and is interested in having a source of bees
throughout the winter.
As my hives will be covered with snow much of the winter and as I am not
anxious to disturb them every week, we are looking for a way for her to keep
her own bees and have a ready source of venom.
Does anyone have a design or ideas for a hive kept inside but with access to
the outside for flight? The design must incorporate an easy way to collect
bees every few days.
So far, the best idea I have is to house the bees in a bee-tight hive in
their attached garage and provide a pipe to the outside. The entrance can
be screened once flight is to be discouraged. If there was a 'T' and a
valve in this pipe and if a glass jar was attached to this 'T' would the
bees move into the jar because of the light? If so, this can be controled
by a valve and she could have bees at will.
Any ideas?
