I am very allergic..after opening a hive when I was about 2 years old..I do not remember it..But I nearly died...I am still a little afraid, but not as bad as I used to be as a child. One time in the car, a bee flew in picked me out of a bunch of kids in the back seat..stung me and flew out the window..

Bees won't bother PEOPLE under normal circumstances. I would make sure the hive isn't right by where you feed them or something and also, make sure there is no chance the horses can get to the hive and scratch on it and knock it over...<br /><br />Good luck and happy honeying :-)thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-4552969251211380002010-04-26T05:56:24.527-05:002010-04-26T05:56:24.527-05:00My hubby is going to start his first set of bees t...My hubby is going to start his first set of bees this year.

Bees are really interesting. We got the swarm into the hive box after church. So far, so good.

One of the Alamo Area Beekeepers came out to visit yesterday evening and helped us pick the best site for our new hive. <br /><br />Turns out the short grass prairie doesn't have as much protection from the north winds so it's going into the wildflower meadow, which actually has less flowers but a cedar brake.flowerweaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903201215823510915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-26905892454539734152010-04-25T08:15:42.134-05:002010-04-25T08:15:42.134-05:00I have to admit that I am afraid of bees.
