Look what I found!

Preparing to evaporate some oxalic acid, I knew I had to cover my screened bottom boards.  Pulled off my bottom deep and look what had built herself a nice home.!!  When I brush my cats out in the yard, I just toss the fur into the woods for the critters to use for their nests.  Well, I guess Momma mouse did just that because the entire nest was made from my cats fur.  The mice are now part of the sewer system!

When I started beekeeping this Spring, I wanted to try a wood hive and a polystyrene.  What I don't like about the poly is the bottom screened board design.  It has ventilation holes??  on the very bottom giving access to anything that wants to crawl in there.  I don't anticipate the boxes will last as long either, find them to be brittle.

Ha! "The mice are now part of the sewer system!"

Good call. Let's leave the cute little mice to Disney

Les you should have recycled and let them become part of the cats. Free cat food!

Apis, my nephew has always said they should sell mouse flavored cat food 😁

my cats were indoor cats, they were fed well  .........outdoor cats catch the buggers and dine on them.......but anyway, the indoor cats loved to chase em around, catch em, and when they finally died of a heart attack or whatever, they still threw them up in the air to get them to move so they could chase them again.......

and once in awhile they would bring them to my feet.........or face, depending on the time of day..........

i had one great hunter that would bolt out the screen door and catch the chipmunks running by........

good 'catch' by you les, they make a mess of a hive in short order.

We have a LOT of cats! All the toms are lazy, shiftless purr machines but the girls are death on rodents.

"We have a LOT of cats! All the toms are lazy, shiftless purr machines but the girls are death on rodents."

LOL neill! the toms have no one to feed but themselves, not a litter like the females........... sounds like a beehive right?  all the drones are lazy, shiftless, but those girls are death on anything that enters!...................... .........
