Portland area greenhouse grow

I have over 30 hives, been keeping bees for many years. I use Carniolan, Italian and whatever feral swarms I can capture.

Remember that they aren't "dudes". They are almost all ladies except the few 1,000 drones. A good hive will have 60,000 bees during the nectar flow.

Bees do not pollinate marijuana or forage off of it as it does not produce nectar. marijuana is wind pollinated. You will not get "green honey" from your bees. The resin produced is a defense mechanism to keep insects off of it by trapping the bug in its sticky ickiness. Bees are wise to this as they have been around for 6 million or so years.

Honey bees could care less about us and will just go about their business. They are pretty mellow. Great little critters they are.

Wasps, which are in the same family as bees (hymenoptera) along with ants and sawflies, are good to have around. They are predatory and will kill nasty bugs that would otherwise feed on your weed.

I also accidentally call my flowering plants dudes too, I should have chose a different word, you are correct. But for the record they will always BEE my little "dudes", and I love having them around.

fruitbat, somewhere not cluttering unclebucks thread, I need to talk with you about preventing my new hive from swarming their first year. Im really getting worried one of my queens is gonna jump ship. :/

I believe they have a cream for that now. cn

one of the branches on the god plant fell over from its own weight yesterday, so i started to stake the big girls today. got 3 done, will probably wait to finish off the other three since they're much smaller.

for the record, i drill holes in the stakes and run twine through them every 8'' or so to support the branches.

Love that Green House....I might build one and live in the fucker soon!just need my lap top,tv,and cell phone.
