The modern bee strains are so genetically weak that they require all sorts of treatments just to survive. There are a few bee breeders out there trying to strengthen the bee genetics, but it hasn't been very successful. In addition to this, modern insecticides are devastating to bee populations.
Nowadays, a lot of beekeepers recommend capturing wild hives rather than trying to buy one. They also recommend either buying a **lot** of land or making sure no one within a 2 mi radius of your hives are spraying any insecticides of any kind. It's kind of ridiculous what beekeepers have to do just to make a little honey nowadays.
there is a reason why you can only find good quality natural (organic) honey in tiny agricultural villages and not in jewpermarkets
and you'd be suprised, natural bee keepers don't charge that much for their good quality honey--because they don't have to pay a middle-man for the transit fees and marketing
and the bees can tell the difference
i've put on my window 2 strands of honey, some regular supermarket crap and real thyme honey
i shit you know the bees didn't even TOUCH the the supermarket honey while they went berserk for the thyme honey, it shows that the bees know what is good...
