Happy Happy!
« on: April 18, 2011, 11:47:43 am »
Got into the girls this weekend and everything looks awesome!!  The Mississippi Queen is laying and we saw 2 frames chock full of eggs!  They are packing in the pollen and drawing out comb!  And Bud- you were wrong!  They are the sweetest things!

The ol' Georgia gals have filled up 2 deeps and a medium with brood and nectar.  We did some rearranging and put an empty medium on top.  Hope she moves the brood down and the nectar up.  Lots of drone comb and 2-3 cups but didn't see anything that looked like a completed or to be completed queen cell.  Lots and lots o' bees though.  Maybe enough to make a finishing nuc!  ;).

Beautiful weekend and great fun!

Oh!  And I did a drop count on my old hive - only 2 varroa!! After 48 hours!  Isn't that awesome!  They kicked some mite butt! Hooray!

love!

K9, one phrase comes to mind when Ziffa is involved..."cute as a button"!

Glad to hear things are good Liz!

Aww! You guys are making my computer turn pink! and me too! :oops:

I can get a little over-boisterous, but I figure fun is more fun if you have fun having fun!  Right? lol  Sometimes I get carried away.

I think I'm still high from the weekend at Bud's too.  I'm just so happy with the bees! 

love,
ziffa

I am so happy for you and glad you are enjoying the bees. Do you have 2 hives now??. I saw that your hubby went along to Bud's with you, so he must be involved as well.

Continue to have a wonderful time this season with the bees. I truly love being around them as you do. My friend Shawna who started beekeeping last year, helps me with my inspections. We go nice and slow and Shawna takes many photos of our inspections. We just watch the bees and we both know how pleasant it is to be around them. We smile a lot and feel very peaceful.

No, we just told her it was berry juice. We didn't tell her it was two years since fermentation...  :-* :shock: :-D
