CABQ Public Apiary Proposal - Request for Input
I'm searching for input on how to propose the creation of a publicly accessible apiary to CABQ. Given the importance that bees play in the success of agricultural economies and the environment as a whole, I feel that getting support from the city for one or more strategically located public apiaries should be a reasonable goal.

IN NEED OF HELP! Hive turned aggressive. Need it removed ASAP
Over the past week my only hive has turned very aggressive. For the past several days I have not been able to approach it within 15 feet without being attacked.

I attempted to introduce a new queen, thinking it may not be queen-right, but they attacked her right away so I'm thinking that isn't the issue. I am hoping…See More
