Notice in the pictures you are working with limited protective gear and did not see a “smoker”. Trust you have a good relationship with your hives.

Being an “Apiarist” is an art of its own, as you may be aware of. You will just get better as you practice.

Good Luck, Prabhu Devananda Pandit!!

Hari Bol!!
your servant, ccd.

thanks ccd, for your comments
This is Devananda’s second year, I think.He also does maple syrup in winter.
His bees died last year.
We have a few other apiarist’s here at New Vrindavan. Rupanuga has bees, Gosh used to and there may be others.

Oh yeah! And Devananda got stung yesterday.
But, as Gosh says, the real medicine is in the sting, or at least, there is medicine in the sting
