    Collecting Wild Honey

    I'm curious how people would go about doing this if they run across a hive in the woods?

    My favorite episode of Duck Dynasty is on right now, and while its been funny to watch I am NOT going to plug a shop vac into a generator and use it for bee containment!

    So, what say you?

    I saw that last night, damn that was funny. I think Phil got it right though. Smoke works wonders to settle down angry bees. I've never had and wild honey, makes me wonder about the difference.

    BTW that is probably my favorite show on right now. I don't watch a shit load of TV, but that is about the funniest show I've seen since the early Tool Time episodes.

    Bees....should this thread be under the "animals" topic since it would overlap with bee keeping? Unless it's going to spin off into the program ya'll are talking about. Just asking.
    I apologize for nothing...

    Nah, this one isn't so much about bee keeping as it is foraging in the wild. I'm kinda curious what (if any) field expedient techniques methods could be used to safely collect it while on the move.

    Only if there's more than one epi pen on hand, even for someone like me who isn't allergic!

    Seriously though, I'm wondering if you'd just have to build a fire near/ under it to pacify them or what? I think I heard they react differently to different types of smoke as well... Its about the only thing making sense to me right now though.

    Me either. They are usually found unwanted at someone's home (and a guy is called in to relocate the hive) or in hives being raised.
