Jen, can I get you a membership to the local gym, build up your massive, biceps,  forearm, back muscles. Then you will be tossing deep supers like paper towels.

Barry Dear...  Thank You very much for that kind offer. However I am my own gym  ;D  Due to my work I need to stay strong so I workout almost everyday. I'm pretty tough! My problem is that my spinal vertibrae's are becoming too mobile with time, which leaves my spine loose and weak, it's in the bone not the muscle. I have to be careful  :)

Wow Jen, beautiful pictures.  I wish my hive was that strong :)  Mine are pretty thin on the upper frames and only completely covering about 4 frames in the bottom deep...they started out small and they've been small all winter.  But my queen is working hard on changing that.

Next time I do an inspection I'll make sure I get some pictures to post up here.

Yes Slow! That Is A Lot Of Frames!

I'm going to have to be on my game to get supers emptied and replaced. No stacking up the supers.

Better eat your Wheaties!

Slow- I'm really looking forward to this season. So far I've been into 2 out 3 hives and no queen cells of any kind, empty or capped. Whew! This year I'm learning splits, and nucs  :)

That's what I thought. You ran out of ritalin, didn't you?   :yes:   :P

   Amusement abounds this morning..  Almost had coffee through the nose...
   jaybird...  Asking questions does you no good if you answer them yourself. Getting advice is pointless if you choose to over ride it with your own.. I know, it is a female thing, My wife doesnt like my answers to her questions either.. So i often ask her why she asked me in the first place.. she gets a puzzled look on her face and shakes her head...   "Umm, I really dont know?"
       I am quite certain you have done no harm, but the ritalin will help..    :laugh: :laugh:

  :D Ritalin? Me? Never! Who wants to calm down when it time to play with the bees and you find that all three queens are doing better than ever? NOT THIS BEE GIRL!
