From Nicaragua, Central America
« on: July 26, 2011, 07:24:32 pm »
New beekeeper.  Retired US Citizen living in Nicaragua.  We have a coffee farm where there are at least 20,000 coffee trees within a 2 mile radius.  Each coffee farm has many fruit trees (mango, citrus, guva, etc) as the best coffee is produced in shade.   I have cleared an area so my girls can have sun.   Honey is exported to Europe at $700 a barrel.

Thanks... Coffee and bees are a hobby that provide joy and money and something to do.  I am learning... like what happens if I put some hives with a friends pea nuts.

lol! I need my daily dose of coffee and seeing the honeybees at work in my gardeb  :-D

I get the shakes when I don't get my coffee caffeine or when I don't see the honeybees, and this is from someone who's crazy about the honeybees but has no hive, lol!

Cheers to your coffee plantation. I am a big shopper of Costco and they had this absolutely delicious Nicaraguan coffee blend....yummmmmmmm!
