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.

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.

Schawee, if you ever come up to Wisconsin I'll be sure to buy you a malted milkshake. They're the best!
