I am new to this site. Has anyone tried tree beekeeping? I have no interest in harvesting honey per se but would love to just get a hive up in a tree and let it do its thing. I know it could work in my zone (3) for overwintering but what do you do about bears?
For the in ground composting or even above ground: how do you locate it? I am on a well and septic on less than an acre located on a lake. I run a pet sitting service with copious amounts of dogs. I do not want to contaminate my well water. I do not want to cause runoff int the lake (algae bloom would devastate the ecosystem). I hate bagging it and throwing it away. Another issue is we are in a glacial deposit area with boulders the size of a house all over. This was discovered when the septic system was replaced. Every hole I did is likely to be met with at least a stone the size of a head, quite often much larger, causing me to move to a different area when planting trees. Anyone have any options for my situation? My well is at the top of the property and the lake is at the bottom. Not much room on the sides. At my previous house I had city water and sewer and was able to make my own doggie septic systems throughout the yard and miss doing that.
