So easy to take care of

Not like a dog, bees are easy to take care of. My hive is a top bar hive. It's an easy hive to take care of. Bars go across the top and the bees make their honeycomb hanging down from them. In the fall, we check for moths and mice that can get in the door and make a nest and kill down the hives. We put a screen in front of the door that only bees can get through--not moths, not mice.

Dog are not that simple. We have to walk them. We have to feed them. We have to watch them. They just can't run off, but our dog does. After 2 hours, he comes back. We don't have to watch the bees when they fly off. They feed themselves. They clean themselves and their home.

Bees are just so easy to take care of.
