Take your notebook with you when you go, yankee. Pick his brain good, and bring all that knowledge back with you.

Better yet.. Take  video camera so you can watch it over and over.. easier to memorize all that knowledge..     Thats what I am going to do when I go to NC..   record it all and sort it out later!

Well, outta 18 queen castle bays, I have 15 queens in them. It's been 9 days since hatching. I hope they are done mating by now. Will be starting 15 new nucs soon.

I am not sure I don't like raising queens and nucs more than Honey.

Capt44 does seem like a decent sort. Keep hgim coming back so we can pick his brain more often  ;D

   As far as liking raising queens and nucs more than making honey?
   Well.. YAH! But you still need to do SOMETHING with all that honey.. right?   8)
