That's a shame, -t. Did I ever tell you about the woman I know who puts her bees up in county open space? She just drives up the fire roads until she finds a nice quiet spot...
Not that I would ever recommend you do such a thing. Ahem.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, y'all. I'm sure my scofflaw bees will find a more law-abiding home. I am tempted to just try to force them to swarm and see what happens. But I won't.
Eta: You did, Consuela! I was actually just remembering that.

-t, how about a community garden?
edited to add: In this case, when you tell someone they've gone to live on a farm, they really have!

I love bees. I wish you would come live near me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I was a kid, my father kept bees. For several years, they were on land way out in the country. I don't know what arrangement he had with the owner -- I was about 5 or 6 at the time. But I remember being able to run around the area (not too close to the hives!) while my father harvested the honeycomb.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm still bemused by the fact that you can just order bees and...they come in the mail. A box of bees! It's like a Monty Python sketch.

Boo to the bee boohooer!
I am off for four whole days! Whee. Work has been really fraught for the last little while, so it will be a relief to be away. Of course, I am going to visit my crazy mom. Who only stopped calling me daily to see if I made it safely home from work when I told her I was coming home for the weekend. So, it won't be entirely relaxing, I fear.
