Well if I'm understanding that commercial right, my Enjoli woman should be able to do all that stuff and still come home and give me the "shivering fits". Or did I miss something...... Maybe you girls just aren't spraying on enough

I was unaware that I was in the presence of Enjoli women.....

I plan to start pulling in some income from this venture next spring. Should be in the hundreds of colonies by then

Well, I ran out of hives, and have 6 more colonies coming and some late summer splits to make. 24 more in the works....

currently nearly half of our genetics are feral/survivor stock. the other half is small cell. as for the aggressiveness..... while i agree that feral is somewhat aggressive, i can be mitigated by hive design. for example, the same genetics i have in langs will light you on fire if you crack the...

I started with lemongrass oil, but also have some swarm commander in there too. Definitely have some interest but no one has moved in yet
