Swarm

First of the year, likely last one of career. I couldn't carry it to the truck in a 10 frame hive. My health is too far gone.

Sorry to hear you are struggling with health issues Wally.
Isn't that an odd place for a swarm?

Approaching 78, I'm just glad to still be moving. I've seen swarms in all kinds of places. I don't know what a normal place would be. 50 years ago, I walked into my month old daughter's bedroom and into thousands of bees flying everywhere while she was sleeping. That, I would call odd.

Can you imagine the panic that would have ensued in that situation had you NOT been a beekeeper?!

That would have been quite the sight to see. Reminds me of the night my second daughter was born, I walked into the bedroom and a tarantula was perched above my wife and sleeping daughter clinging to the curtain. I didn't say a word but casually walked back to the kitchen, grabbed a glass and paper towel, and proceeded to place the glass over the tarantula. My wife didn't know it was there until I'd captured it whereupon I proceeded to carry it I to the front yard and release it.

I wish you wellness, Iddee. As someone close to your age, and as a cancer survivor, I can say that the best medicine I had, besides all the people close to me, was to think daily of all the things I was grateful for, no matter the obstacles.
