Hello, I am a 10 year beekeeper and bee remover. I've taught hobbyists and removers the ins and outs of beekeeping for awhile now, and I've gotten to the point that I feel there's very little that bees have left to teach me. I deal with a more southern climate, not much overwintering, and my bees are partly Africanized, like the local population. I can answer questions about hobbyist beekeeping as well as strategies for removal and relocation. Have a problem you can't quite figure out? Bees being a bit mysterious to you? Having trouble with a particular hive? Want to know more about what gear or woodenware you're working with? Hit me up here!

Idk if this one’s allowed, as it’s not about keeping, specifically.

As someone who lives in an apartment, and has no control over my outdoor environment, what can I do to help bees? I’m incredibly fascinated by them, and honestly would love to keep a hive, but it’s not in the cards right now.

Great question. Supporting habitat conservation is the most important thing any of us can do for pollinators. That can be as simple as becoming a member of a local park system, volunteering to help remove invasive plants, donating to a nature preserve, etc. Then someday when you have a yard, plant natives instead of grass.
