I see. Yes, it must be incredible to see. I am just wondering what the next cool thing will be happening at your "bee ranch". :-) Keep us posted.
Hi Toni--for me, the fact that the little places on the lemon balm leaves are indeed transparent indicates insect damage. I have seen the same on...
What a nice group of fotos this time, C. That marching phenomenon is something to behold. Your various shots really illustrate the march well....
Hiyah Toni, I have to rush out of the house now...but at first glance, I would be inclined to suspect an insect. Have you checked the underside of...
How interesting. It sounds like you did a good job with catching it and taking it in. Did they say where it will eventually be released? Well...
Heh heh heh....what a story, Carolyn. It sounds like something that would happen in a sit-com. I'm still chuckling.
Well, your method of beekeeping sounds very sensible to me. I do not believe that your full supers last year were a coincidence. I have the...
I see Carolyn....but will you not be checking the honey super to see if the windows in that get full so that you and add another?
Lovely bird and squirrel selection, Sherry. Have they started nesting there yet, or are they still in the courtship phase? Boy, wouldn't I like...
chuckle--what a cute bee-shot. She really DOES look like she is saying, "Hello", doesn't she. Thanks for the pics. I see that your excluders...
Heh heh heh....You are a naughty harvester. :-) It is good news hearing that you are harvesting already. Makes me a tad jealous, I do admit....

I am getting the picture. Do you use a "queen register...or maybe it is called a 'grill" between brood boxes and honeý supers? Thanks for...
Hahaha...C-- You didn't confuse me, I confused MYSELF! chuckle. Well it looks like that hive is very full of bees, though. How can you tell...
Thanks for those pics, Carolyn. Good grief--there seems to be so many bees that I could imagine that they might need a new box on top. You did...
Lovely collection of blooms, Tina. That's a pretty fancy pot there (the next to the last pic). It is delightful to see yoiur lovely blooms.
Hello Dan, I pot on the first two times into ever deeper pots with "potting soil" (like what one uses for flower boxes on the balcony). In...
If your pot is outside you may want to add soil to the pot so that the leaves are completely covered. This will protect from freezing damage (if...
What an absorbing thread, Carolyn. I just read from posting to posting, totally intrigued. Weren't you the lucky girl to get that...
That is an alarming sight, Carolyn. I guess it was a good lesson: always clean the things out before storing. The wax moth makes an alarming...
