New2it33, great! If they haven't left yet it is unlikely they will leave the hive. Are they coming and going? Do you have a source of water nearby...
FBG, we are in farming country, surrounded by wheat, oats, corn, and pastures. Our bees and our honey are fine. We haven't found the pollen from...
Eileen, I could ship you the corpse. I have no plans for it.
Eileen, if you find a fly being eaten by a fungus fascinating, would you like to come get the skunk for me? You might find that very interesting....
Wow, after seeing that, getting the dead skunk out from under the porch doesn't seem like such a gross task after all. I think this is going to...
Honey, come on down to Texas--our dawn comes up with a roar and a red sky, then it turns into a beautiful azure blue with puffy white clouds...
Donna, gardeners don't need sleeping pills, ever! I can hardly wait to see your photos. I spent the last two days pulling 403 weeds! :roll:
Couldn't have happened to a better person--lots of potting compost for a good cause! Congratulations. I sure wish some of our stores had such rebates.

New2it, bee-keeping is fascinating, fun, and can be profitable. I'll try to give you a quick overview, but be sure to ask any specific questions...
Sherrye, I was watching Cook's Country yesterday, and the blonde chef made chicken Cordon Bleu. She made a pocket in the thick end of the chicken...
Love your caption, Eileen!
Claudine, you came in when it got dark? Haven't you heard of floodlights? Just kidding--we are all like that, compulsive weeders, planters,...
Our "slight chance of severe storms" was a fizzle, also, thank heavens! We got some rain, about 1/2", and had a few bursts of wind, but that was...
Muddypaws, the last person I'd go to for advice is "the guy at Home Depot". If he had a degree in toxicology, veterinary medicine, or...
We aren't in the danger zone, this time, but Oklahoma, Kansas, and Iowa have had tornadoes. When we are in a danger zone, I keep the radio on for...
Happy belated birthday, and we wish you many more!
We had wind today, with overcast. If we get severe storms with hail, it will be tomorrow afternoon and evening. We have our fingers, toes, and...
Deanna, we have all learned not to listen to folks that say, "It's too difficult, it's hard to do, etc." Generally, they haven't tried it or are...
We have Devil's Walking Stickk (aralia spinosa) here in Texas that looks a lot like your Toothache Tree. It would seem both are "cat proof"!
