Nice!

It has been a crazy year around here for swarms.   A lot of folks have had more swarms than hives.

That happened to me this year.  I doubled my hive count in like two months and ran out of woodenware.
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.
