picked up nucs from perry? WHO'S PERRY? ........ :D just kidding, he has been a little MIA from here, so feel fortunate you met him in person!
perry is a great guy, and a great beek! cool you joined up with us, questions? just fire away!

hmmmm, any scoop on perry you'd like to share?...... :D
Title: Re: Hello newbee keeper from Windsor NS!
Post by: Perry on June 03, 2014, 06:56:21 am: So glad to see you here Stonefence! ;)

Yes, I have been absent to some extent from this place I call home. I have been soooo busy with inspections that I have not been able to keep up, even with my own bees.
A scoop? Is that what you all are looking for?
Well Stonefence has been gracious enough not to say anything but I guess I will.
Stonefence and her friend came to pick up 2 nucs each. They followed me to one of my yards, and then got in my truck for the short trip through waist high grass to get to the hives and nucs. As I was backing the truck up to the hives, staring into the rearview mirror, I heard "Hey, what's that hanging in the tree?"
Sure enough!!!!
Not the most professional way to show new keeps how I do things! :-[ :laugh: ;D

It seems like all I am doing is putting out fires with my own bees, but thankfully the inspections are drawing to a close over the next few weeks. I should be seen here more often shortly.

Post by: G3farms on June 03, 2014, 04:56:13 pm: Welcome to the forum! You have found a great resource in Perry. He even showed you a swarm and hopefully how to catch it!
Title: Re: Hello newbee keeper from Windsor NS!
Post by: Michelle on June 04, 2014, 06:51:41 pm: Thank you for all your warm welcome wishes! I am still a bit nervous of the bees and I know I shouldn't be! LOL I grew up with bee hives on our farm and never got stung by them. I think I have seen too many youtube videos! I will do my first opening f the hive on Saturday to see how things are going and to see if I can see the queen. :)
Title: Re: Hello newbee keeper from Windsor NS!
Post by: LazyBkpr on June 04, 2014, 09:03:05 pm: If your close enough to Perry find out when he is going to go through a few hives and go watch. It is a good experience and will help give you some confidence.
He seems pretty busy at the moment so you might have to brow beat him a little... Hey! Let us know if you need any help with that! ;D

Post by: Springtide on September 17, 2014, 04:46:45 pm: Welcome Stonefence, I am a newbee too, who got nucs from Perry. Hmm we're about a 3 hour drive apart, but I don't often come your way, my friend lives in Pubnico so when we drive to Halifax a couple times of year we usually take Hwy 101. If you're ever down in Yarmouth look me up :)
