Thunder storms moving in today. Looks like Spring is here!
Still no dandelions. The Apple trees and lilacs are starting to bud.. One spring flow coming up!!
Still waiting on bees to arrive.. Starting to look like the poo is all going to hit the fan all at once.. but thats usually how it goes around here. Havent been to check the swarm boxes in a couple days, but the weather has been wet, drizzly and raining so not too much of a worry. I have drones emerging so the ability to make queens has arrived. Everything is ready except my patience... The winter has done bad things to my ability to relax and wait. I imagine when the poo hits the fan I will find multiple things I didn't get done. Oh, Mornin!!!

I would rather have the drizzle and rain than those freezing snaps.

Scott ""I imagine when the poo hits the fan I will find multiple things I didn't get done. Oh, Mornin!!!""

I have a notion that you are more prepared than I was. And I still don't think I'm out of the dark.

Good Morning to you too

good mornin!
i have been watching the storms sweeping across the usa hope everyone is all right. here, it's been raining since last thursday, high winds, driving rain, and 2 days ago it hailed like crazy. the river is up and flooding. i sure hope we don't get the floods we had a couple years ago. the only upside to the flooding river is that it is trout opener here on saturday........

not one of our favorite weekends. it's usually combat fishing at it's finest, and bumping into guys who claim they had owners permission to climb over a fence or take a shortcut through the property......

signs are usually torn down and fences cut, not to mention the trash left behind. a muddy river won't keep them from coming, but it sure is going to be cold, wet and rainy.

Its been rough the last few days, and look slike cool, cloudy and rainy till Friday.. supposed to get back to the 60's on Friday and be 70's after Sunday.. I am quite thankful my bees wont start arriving until after Monday. With luck I will have decent weather to get them hived.

Good Morning Keep! It's gonna be a warm one today. I can always tell when I walked outside early int he morning and it's warm. Maybe more swarms today?

LazyBkpr · « **Reply #345 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:19:56 am »

I am hoping for swarms in this area that are NOT from my hives

I got a call at 7 AM from the post office.. my queens are here.. Originally intended for UT.. they canceled and so they were shipped my way on the same day.
Splits about to begin as soon as my coffee is finished.. Yep.. 7 AM t shirt weather... Sweating has never bothered me, tingling fingers and toes from the cold REALLY bothers me.. I'll take the warmth 370 days a year.

Warm here this morning also, 91 this afternoon, glad I have already looked into the hives to see how they are doing, dang forgot to put the screen tops on them to keep them a little cooler, just an excuse to go out tomorrow and do it.

Yep, 370 days a year by the beekeepers calendar... 30 days of spring, 30 days of summer, 15 days of fall and 295 days of winter... I suppose you didnt read the thread bee math??

riverbee · « **Reply #350 on:** May 23, 2014, 11:51:40 am »

LOL scott!

very true for us northern beeks. we are finally getting some nice weather here today, we might get to 70......

we have had temps in the 50's, a couple mornings of frost, rain and cloudy cool days. dandelion bloom is awesome this year, and one of my apple trees has blooms on it that i haven't seen for several years. this sure looks to be a good honey year for us.

wow, are we getting hammered with rain!!! torrential down pours, we are at about 4 inches, and it is to continue the rest of the day. flood warnings and watches.....i bet zweefer is going to be real busy in the crop adjustment department......yikes!

go figure, i washed all the windows ..........

efmesch · « **Reply #352 on:** June 19, 2014, 02:07:16 pm »

If I thought washing my windows would help get me rain I'd wash every single one ---TWICE.
Our last drop of rain (not much more than a few drops) was in May. If we're lucky, we'll start getting some new rains for the coming seson come September.

I know Ef, same here in draught California. I'll send you rain mojo and you can send me rain mojo Okay?

efmesch · « **Reply #354 on:** June 19, 2014, 02:49:18 pm »

You caught me on that one Jen---I guess my "mastery" of English slang (?) isn't up to date. I haven't the foggiest notion what a mojo is. Please help.

Jen · « **Reply #355 on:** June 19, 2014, 02:55:26 pm »

Positive Energy, Positive Thoughts, Positive Magical Spell

I'll be sending you good mojo = I'll be sending you More Rain Energy
