Loving the herd life
It's just a few of us here and we're all good natured so don't sweat it! Not like those high powered bee forums, lol
For sure, but my fruit trees were in bloom. I hope I still get some fruit this year.Sorry the bees are hive bound but you NEED the rain when you can get it.
Thank you for all the info and the link to the courses @Latestarter! I did check for a bee club/guild/etc locally the closest one is over 2hrs away and dont seem to be to active.
As for the stinging part i have a huge phobia of bees...when they ca nsting me i think if i am in a suit i will be fine though because when they are on the other side of a window or screen door im fine with them and actually watch them. Honeybees in particular are not so bad mostly its the yellow jackets and the brown wasps i run from.
Congrats Maggiesdad looks nice.
i have read thru this entire thread and i have a question. well a lot but one in particular. When your feeding sugar syrup you say the bees put the sugar syrup in cells. How do you keep those separate from the honey you want to harvest, or does it not matter...or you feed before the super goes on?
