   LOTS of plans today... and its raining...    Won't complain, we needed it. Flow was starting to dry up. THis should jump start things again, at least for a short time.  Kinda feels good to have coffee and watch the rain.

Went back up north to the bee yard i took 8 med supers of honey off of 4 days ago and took off 5 more. I put some wet supers back on, i think i might have jumped the gun on robbing them? the Sumac was in bloom all around and the girls are all over it. Last year i took over 20 med. supers off of the 12 hives there and so far 13 med. supers, i left some supers because they weren't capped and still filling them. This has and still is a crazy (weather) year, about two weeks behind other years. ??? Jack

Flow is dead.. not sure why, but feeders are out..  Went through 4 gallons of syrup yesterday..  HUNGRY bees...   Wood cutting has started. I have a load on the trailer, so I am off to get that load split and stacked and get another load piled on...    Supposed to be 68 today.. Not bad cutting weather..  60 would be better!

I stayed home today while hubby and nephews went hunting. Did my first oxalic acid treatment yesterday all by myself. My hives now have some robbing issues so I have robbing screens on all four hives. After the oa treatment I reattached the screens. Later I went out to do some dead grass raking and notice a robbing frenzy going on in hive #2. Couldn't figure it out, walked up and took a closer look. Appears that I got the robbing screen attached about 1/4 inch too high and the robbers were scooting thru. Glad I caught that  :) 8)

Yahooo---I didn't break down and turn on the air-conditioner in spite of the thermometer reaching 34.3 C (almost 85 F ) this afternoon.  I've become so well adjusted to the temp that I didn't even sweat.   But the night time  temps have begun falling and I've started using a light blanket when I go to sleep.

I've been following it (on the internet) across the continent from the Bering sea and Alaska.  I hope it peters out before it reaches Vermont---my son and grandson-in-law are supposed to be there next week and I dread the thought of them having to drive in snowstorms.

Hopefully, you can sit back and enjoy its beauty from inside your warm home.  Though I've lived through plenty of snows and don't look forward to them like I did as a child, I still love the squeaky sound it makes when I walk in the piles of fresh snow.  That's something I get very infrequently here, in Israel.

about the same here..  COLD and snow is blowing everywhere..  We attempted to pick corn this morning, but the snow was getting into the Combines,and the wind was blowing the corn over the sides of the trucks when we tried to dump the grain carts into them...  Had to call it off for a bit...   I was wearing a t shirt wrapping hives, and sweating yesterday..  Sat outside last evening in my T shirt with my Rum and Coke and watched the sunset, trying to ease the aggravations of the day...  this morning there is ICE in the water tank and a skiff of snow blowing about in the 30 mph winds..
   I dont mind 30 mph winds..  I also dont mind 35 degree temps...  What I do mind, is both together..   Might have to sell this spread and move further south.

Winter fed and wrapped doesn't include opening hives and moving frames around.

Quit changing the subject. Jaybird.   :P   :D
