Inspections and feeding went great on Thursday! Jack and I smelled a skunk close by the whole time. Well...Millie saw that skunk at 10:24pm and ran after it and got a face f10:24 pm� This is how busy they are today with full feeders and pollen patties. Going to put the Boardman feeders out now and just give all the critters a check and tuck them in. 🐝 #Beekeeping #SkunkEncounter #BusyBees
My bee mentor often shared a story her father used to tell: "The bees always come first. They're in charge." He was not only a WWII vet but also a Master Mason and a fount of knowledge, which he passed down to Terry. Having lived nearly a century, his wisdom lives on. I had the honor of conducting a Masonic memorial service for him when he passed. Terry, inheriting his vast knowledge, is always there to guide me whenever I'm uncertain! New stands built, boxes all loaded with 5 frames, most of which already have drawn comb. See you Saturday morning, ladies!
The girls buzzing away tonight while I fed them. Good thing I left all the insulation on!!! As you can hear one of these guard bees telling me I was too close!
So last week we were reminded of the circle of life. We got 8 new chicks and a few days later we lost 2 of our matriarchs to old age. They were two of our very first girls who produced so much and also taught us so much and they will be missed. 😔 So on a lighter note, here's a video this morning of the new chicks being camera hogs!!!
