Do all the bees in your area go to that tree?

;D

3/4 of 2017 have been in my own bee yard. I average 8-9 out of my 20+ hives every year.

Post by: riverbee on April 27, 2017, 10:19:31 pm: it beats ladders and other precarious fiddly farting around with poles and buckets; buckets on the front of a tractor or standing on the bed of a pick up truck or on the hard top of my jeep............. :D :D :laugh:

i don't much care for standing on ladders anymore, the last few swarms i took down the road were in grape vines and teeny trees........and the vines and trees weren't much taller than i was, ground level, works for me!
