Mashed Bee articles by Pat Darnell | Dec 14, 2013 | Bryan TX
Due to cascading colony disorders in bee populations, it seems a great idea to begin raising bees. So a quick study in HOW TO is in order, with followup, and maybe some interviews at Texas A and M University. If there is a way to put bees in our backyard, we will keep you, dear reader, posted.
As we begin this study, we hope you find some wisdom from our activities. I know weekend ranchers, urban cowboys and cowgirls, and many others will be interested in our findings.
With that intro,
How to Start an Urban Bee Hive - Urban Farm Online: "More than 40 years later, Warren is still raising bees in his backyard. However, he’s traded his country home for an urban backyard. He lives in the middle of Lexington—population 280,000. In his backyard, which measures approximately 40 feet by 60 feet, he keeps five full-size bee hives. Each hive houses 50,000 to 70,000 Honey bees. With neighbors in every direction, Warren has to manage his bees carefully. “There are no problems with my bees,” Warren explains. “My neighbors know all about them. In 12 years in this house, I’ve never had a problem. Of course, to be neighborly, I give them all honey!”"

CONCLUSION
Doing the right thing, MooPig Wisdom attempts to build a hive, and provide habitat for disappearing honey bees. Maybe this is too progressive of an idea for the suburban community MooPig lives in.
