BEE BATH

                 
   With such a hot dry summer I have used my bird baths as a bee baths.  The rocks allow the bees to land on a rock and this prevents them from drowning.


Keep your veil on, your hive tool in hand, and your smoker smoking....there still is alot to do!
                                 



                       
                                                       

THANK GOODNESS FOR DAUGHTERS

My daughter Christine put my new hive together.  This is my third hive and it won't be used until next year.  The two hives that I have are slow because of the bear attack and I don't expect to get much honey this year.
