I must admit that this whole mania of hers has been more fun than I would have guessed.<br /><br />Steve, we don't know, but have an emergency backup plan in place.<br /><br />Paul, if you knew Mrs. Pondero, you'd know that her search for the queen is more pragmatic than emotional. She was trying to verify that offspring production was in order. Without the queen, she does not achieve her objective.Ponderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042079750126434523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676045436294463991.post-45995299316376908392011-04-24T07:52:14.187-06:002011-04-24T07:52:14.187-06:00That sounds like something a woman would do emotio...That sounds like something a woman would do emotionally. Open the hive and check on the mother of the hive, the Queen. Not that there's anything wrong with that, certainly. Just offering an observation. It goes without saying, there are bees everywhere. If you don't believe me, mix up some sugar water and put it out on the back porch. It's possible, I suppose, there'll be no bees attracted to your sugar, it's just not very likely.paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676045436294463991.post-44487376020133489172011-04-24T07:06:21.225-06:002011-04-24T07:06:21.225-06:00When I lived in Everett, our next door neighbor ke...When I lived in Everett, our next door neighbor kept bees. It seemed a little sporty to me, considering that she was HIGHLY ALLERGIC to bee stings. I trust Mrs Pondero would not simply keel over if stung?<br /><br />[brink]Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676045436294463991.post-15891040150982834632011-04-24T07:06:13.374-06:002011-04-24T07:06:13.374-06:00Very cool.Very cool.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676045436294463991.post-45844723824440650432011-04-24T05:38:28.723-06:002011-04-24T05:38:28.723-06:00Excellent!

The pollen sacks on the returning bees were really packed.<br /><br />Beekeepers in our area struggle with finding enough forage areas in our corn and soybean landscape throughout the year to keep their hives healthy. We have an initiative here to encourage folks to plant plants for pollinators which bloom throughout the growing season.Big Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713190395281794960noreply@blogger.com
