Post by: Bakersdozen on June 30, 2023, 04:08:01 pm

If I show you my beard will you show me yours?  Can you beat mine?

Hi Baker ;D Is this the hive that likes to hang out on the front porch for no apparent reason?

Jen, no.  This is another and at the time I took this photo this one had the heaviest beard. 
I put a screened inner cover in the hive you are asking about.  It didn't eliminate the beard, but greatly reduced it.  By the way, they are plugging up the screened cover with propolis.

15th, sorry to disappoint you.  We can always cover that subject too!  Maybe next winter.
