Got stung in the face (cheek) and found that it didn't swell too bad and it went away in about two hours. That marked the 100th sting and then one on my finger tip. I am fairly immune to the bee's kisses (venom).
I put sliding entrance reduces to minimize the potential of wasp robbery. I also bought some traps for the wasp which are pheromone based so it is bee safe. But due to the rainy weather they will be put up on Monday.
Welcome to Tractor Apiaries, a local start up bee business located near Sanger CA. I have just gotten into the beekeeping hobby earlier this year. Currently I have several hives that I would like to rent out during pollination season to local farmers. My plans for this blog are to post answers to common questions regarding the beekeeping hobby and business, as well as other bee related topics.

Stings and Yard Development
93 stings so far this year ad counting.
I have most of the fence post up and I will have about 7 yards of red wood mulch delivered on Friday. I'm crossing my fingers for it not to rain.
