Hey Perry old buddy, A lot of damage all around me Tornado's, high winds, and lots of rain
Had over 10 inches in two days, my water melons were just coming up, they are just water now the melon won't happen if i don't replant
Started 10 nuc's with Queen cells and they should have hatched just before the rain and storms set in, so i'm thinking the queens will not get bred because the bees have not been flying. My pastures look like a Lake, the hay fields need cut, but the grass is top heavy and laying down with all the rain and wind. I never complain about the rain !!! I have been through to many DRY SPELLS!!! Never had this kind of problem before so i don't know how to make plans if and when it comes to an end??? I have 10 hives in St. Claire Co. Mo. on high ground in a creek bottom that i have not been able to get to this year and they were strong hives, i'm thinking they have swarmed by now? Hope your having a good bee year up your way and those of you that need rain get it. Been reading about Idee's fishing, from what he has described about his catches, That sounds like he is eating what we in Mo. call BAIT.
