Thats funny!!! My family helping out????? Harrrggghhhhh!!!
The 2 helpers were Francine and Tina...Francine works with Janelle and Tina is Francines best friend! Francine just got a hive this year from me and Tina is gonna start next spring! ( Unless they got scared by my bees!)
Janelle was up on the deck taking the pics from there...She KNOWS I have 2 hot hives this year and didnt want any part of them!
Paul didnt help this year...he's afraid of bees now.
Next year Im gonna get a bucket with a valve on the bottom for filling honey into bottles, and, also, I think I'll get one of those screen patios to keep the bees out of all the honey and stuff. This year, I was really bummed from how many bees died this time...(getting stuck in honey)...On a good note, i got about 100 lbs of honey.....And, I couldnt have done it without the help of Francine and Tina!..Without them, it would have taken me a couple days to get it all!
your friend,
john
