Starting again
« on: May 13, 2018, 12:20:42 am »
Spent yesterday driving 3 hours away to a keep's place I have met. I bought 4 nucs from him. They are VSH Italian stock. Very gentle, calm bees. Today I placed them all in 8-frame hives. Did me a world of good to be out there messing with them. :)
Looking for queen

Is she hiding in here? :)



Cool T-shirt, huh?

I guess we can tell who you are in the picture.   ;)
I'm glad to hear you are getting back into beekeeping.

I shoulda said something. I'm the fat guy without the veil. I bought these bees from Lonnie Perry in Salem Ar. Bees are very gentle and non aggressive. He wears a veil cause he hates stings to the face. :)
