What are your other hobbies beside poultry husbandry?

Do you sell your stuff, or just have them be gifts?

I sell when I have the opportunity. Mostly word of mouth. Gifts are for family usually. I'd like to build more of a web store presence, but I dno't have the time to put into it right now.

Venoms are species specific. Swelling and itching are normal, anaphylaxis isn't. You could see an allergist and find out what species you are allergic to or try allergen immunotherapy.

A very productive colony that needed to be split before it swarmed.

They have a way of being so majestic even though they are so small individually. We once watched a Russian Hive Swarm, and it was actually once of the most breathtaking experiences I have ever had. Almost made up for losing the hive.
