Been away...but back again :-)
« on: November 30, 2014, 12:14:08 pm »
I’ve been out of the loop for a while.  Life got pretty busy in my world this past summer.  Hope everyone had a good year with their bees.  We harvested a decent amount of honey this year from two hives. …around 165 lbs.  After cutouts and some luck with bait hives, we’re going into winter with 7 hives.  The biggest issue I had this past year was a pesticide kill in early spring.  Surprisingly the bees recovered very well afterwards and we were able to get some sweet stuff to enjoy.    Now that things have slowed down a bit, I can catch up on everyone’s posts.

Looking forward to adding this colony to my yard in the spring.

Nothing like a nice cut-out to start the year. Good to see you again. ;)

Indeed Welcome back! Always good to have cut outs planned a few months in advance!
