I floated the idea of getting a hive (or 4) by the wife...and got basically a h#ck NO. I only have an acre at home so it would not be too far (or far enough) from the house.

worried the kids will get stung, bees everywhere, etc..

Any ideas to change her mind?? =)

Keep us posted how your hives do, Bean and John. I would love to learn more about this.
