Holy moly JP!  Talk about jealous! 

Do you think most of those are from kept hives or wild hives?

love,

I've been so busy & getting home late every day, 7 days a week for the last three weeks, been videoing but too tired at night to create any new videos but they will come once I get a little time

My phone is always with me & I do Facebook with it, my Facebook page is titled JPthebeeman & the membership has been growing

We put up pics & videos, all about bee keeping & of course the removals I do & anything else bee related

If you feel like joining I would love to have you!

These pics are so glorious! I want to take that small piece of white oval comb and pin it to my lapel, or in my hair, or on a long beaded chain ~ JP! You have inspired my creativity!  ;) 8)

And go out and lay on the beach and soak up the sun till the wax melts and runs thru you hair.
Great pictures JP as Jen said. The new piece of comb looks so delicate, like a fine embroidered doily.

I've never seen a bee hat before JP! That's got to be your new forum picture.

   I thought that was an amazing picture as well.
   I thought we had quite a few swarms cutouts to do up here, but its not even a drop in a bucket compared to all JP's swarms.

I would love to be an assistant, but I couldn't handle all of those swarms myself ~ Good Gravy~!

I gotta ask, just where are all these swarms coming from?  ???
There must be an awful lot of keeps there who don't seem to be watching their hives.
