I've only been stung twice, and I get into the hives about once a week in warm weather. I'd stay away from them when it's cool, cloudy and/or rainy. They get kind of cranky when the weather is nasty. I joined the local bee society, and a man comes out and helps me a lot.<BR/>Have fun with them...<BR/>RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-55821562582882967112008-05-08T08:32:00.000-05:002008-05-08T08:32:00.000-05:00Ch, AFter that first day, I haven't had them in th...Ch, AFter that first day, I haven't had them in the house. But it has been cool and raining out. Once it warms up we will see if they get back in. If not I will let you know how far they are from the house. I forgot to ask my husband how far we have them out now, but it isn't like they are right up against the house.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-68494778751183461022008-05-07T12:15:00.000-05:002008-05-07T12:15:00.000-05:00Oooh, just how far away do they have to be from th...Oooh, just how far away do they have to be from the house?

I've put a lot of things in my Subaru.<BR/><BR/>That's cool you guys are doing the bee thing. I went to a workshop in Wisco during our local food seminar on beekeeping. I knew the guy doing it and he said he started beekeeping before he had land. Organic farms would let him keep the bees on their land. It worked well for him. Perhaps it's something I should do.<BR/><BR/>Take care.BurdockBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01174758566322248274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-78470596989922371122008-05-06T09:20:00.000-05:002008-05-06T09:20:00.000-05:00survivalwoman, stick around, we are told things ge...survivalwoman, stick around, we are told things get really odd around here.
