Raising Queen Bees of Your Own

Here are two excellent videos, or maybe three, on how to set up and raise your own queen honeybees.  This is an excellent thing for most anyone to take up, being a beekeeper, that is.  If you have any doubts about being able to do something like this, put them to rest, as beekeeping is NOT a hard skill to learn.  Mastering the art of beekeeping is another thing altogether, but in that it takes years to do.  I am NO master beekeeper at this point.  I have kept bees for quite a few years at this point, but have never done it with great gusto.

At this point, I feel that it is something that I MUST master - one of those skills that may become extremely important and valuable in a short while.  I plan to learn how to build my own equipment completely from scratch, from any lumber or wood that is available.  I want to try to track down, or create, all the hand tools that I might need to be able to build beehive parts from any kind of wood.  It could be that we sustain EMP attacks, that would reduce us to 1800s-type technology.  I hope that's not the case, but I want to be ready to handle it well, if it happens.

So check out the Fat Bee Man's videos.  They are really informative and helpful!







Don't be afraid!  Dive in and learn about beekeeping while you're doing it.  That is the best way!

Ninja knowledge...

I just stumbled on something that really pissed me off, in a good way.  For years now, I’ve been taking our dead batteries back to Sears, or other locations, and giving them freely away.  I thought there was nothing I could do with them…  I have now come to my senses, finally.

Watch this video of Walter Barrett showing exactly how to recondition a battery, bringing it back to life 100%.

After you’ve watched this video, you no longer have any excuse not to fix your batteries, or to waste money on purchasing a new one.

As a side note, this could easily become a lucrative business.  A guy could advertise that he’ll come and pick up any used automotive batteries for free and dispose of them…  Then recondition them, and sell them cheap.  Great idea.
