In terms of time… about 10-20 minutes per hive per week from mid April to August. In addition honey is extracted twice a year. However, some visits can be longer dependent on the planned task or problem encountered.

Honeybees are the highest form of insect life, they live in a well organized colony that does not need to hibernate. They produce honey and store it in wax comb and use the same hive from one year to the next.

Typical max population 30,000-40,000.

Yes. A few people are allergic, but most will swell for a short time and then gradually become more immune.

Three types, a single queen, thousands of female workers and in the summer hundreds of male drones. See next 'What does the Queen Bee Do' The drone bee does no work however in the early autumn they are evicted by the workers and die.
