THANK YOU SALTY.  My oh my, look at the green grass and flowers,,,,, so nice to see it?s green somewhere.  All I see is brown grass, brown leaves, huge bare hardwoods with a few evergreen cedar here and there, and a lake full of those rod bending striped bass.  So I adore looking at flowers posted by beeks on BeeMaster.

Salty, please keep posting the flowers and greenery.  It warms my heart to look at the pics.  Again, thanks, Salty.

Socks?  What is the deal, where is Barefoot!!!

Blessings
Van
I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

Nice salty... But not nearly as entertaining as when you posted about running around the yard slapping bees and being stung on the whoo-hoo. 😉

I?m glad I?m still here-
I look around the yard realizing I?ve started keeping bees after 7 months and think what have I done?
The responsibility I?ve learned they need makes me worried if I?m ready for my first real spring of my bees and not purchased.
I trust my friends here will help.
Thanks
 Nuck- good on them!!
