This is the BBE-Tech website for discussing the how’s and why’s of doing the things we do where bees are concerned.
We follow an approach to beekeeping and life in general where we keep things simple. Our style is to use the resources you have at hand to accomplish what needs to get done.
We figure that after about 170 million years of being bees, there’s not a lot we are gonna teach bees about being bees. Instead, let’s set back and watch for a bit to see what they are doing and see how we might fit what we want to get done into what they are already doing.
Keep it simple, that’s what we are all about here. Let’s not over-complicate things that are already working and maybe just need a tweak instead of a whole redesign.
I hope you enjoy the pics and the posts we put here. Beekeeping should be fun. We try to keep that in mind here.
By the way, We talk about “bee conservation” a lot here. Our idea of bee conservation is keeping alive bees that are already here. As a professional pest management service provider, I get a lot of calls from folks that have bees in their house or in a fallen tree. basically, there are bees somewhere the people don’t want them.
We come out and do everything we can to keep those bees alive and do a live removal and relocation. This allows those bees to stay alive, it makes the people more relaxed and because we get those bees to area beekeepers and in our own conservation beeyard at Fontenelle forest, the environment gets to have some spiffy little pollinators keeps things blooming.
Everybody wins.
We can’t thank the management and staff at Fontenelle Nature Association enough for collaborating with us to bring the bees to a safe and forage rich location.
