We recently started working with bees and have three hives. We are taking a class at a local college and are very excited about all we are learning. Two friends recently related to us of Southern California childhood memories of a type of non-stinging bee. They called them 'H' bees because of a distinctive mark on their backs. Can anyone tell me more about these 'H' bees. Where we live a non-stinging bee would be most neighborly and I wonder if these might be domesticated and commercially available. I would appreciate any information that could be provided me. Thank you for your time and help. Ty Riley The Colony Burnt Ranch, CA 95527
