Glad to hear that you are better and can work with your bees a little.

Bud said you better not be lifting anything heavy or he's gonna kick your butt!  ;)

Glad you had the chance to play with some bees. The withdrawals must have been something pitiful!

That was fun Schawee for sure. See the bees never forgot about you. They waited until you were sitting there and then swarmed.

Rest assured he's been staying away from the huge milk shakes he's accustomed to downing (daily). Dr. said he can't lift anything more than five lbs!  :-D

I don't know how i missed this thread but I'm glad to see you were out with your bees. Figure the odds of seeing a swarm at this time of year in your yard. Hope everything turns out OK.
