How do you find swarms? Do you go look for them or do people call you?

I have been wanting to get a hive started. Problem is I have too many other expensive hobbies like my 3 year old, dogs, chickens, hunting, trapping, the farm, etc.... I have been looking for used equipment on Craigslist but I havent found what I want yet for the right price. If I could get into the hobby for cheap I would like to try it.

Be careful of that used equipment Gundog...well, the hive boxes, frames, etc. They can carry mites and other parasites. Beekeeping is great though and we need more beekeepers. Honeybees in the US have it stacked against them right now and our crops need all the pollinating help they can get.

Nice swarm there Donnie. How many hives you got?
