Invest in a bee-hive if you have the space in your compound (Not those 1/8th,1/4 buroti shenanigans)  . Tuck the hive away from interference from humans or domestic animals. That way, you avoid having to deal with such rubbish. You may even have some excess to sell to your neighbours.

Sub Chief, the allegation came from elsewhere not from me!

While forests are being closed for logging, I hope thy allow honey guys in Laikipia and samburu to continue their business, they hang hives and harvest every now and then, they mostly sell it raw with all the stuff I remember my uncle tied a mosquito net over a bucket poured the raw honey an left it outside to sieve sadly he did not get anything bees descended on the setup before it started sieving and carried it all away.

That's a strange one. Bees have no capacity to evacuate honey.

Well I only know of the normal bees and the yellow ground ones, by the time the swam died on the setup all that was left was magua or the stuff with wax etc. To Each His Own
