Hi Heathernay!
Just one quick word...Awww, never mind...I cant do just one word.....Just kind of be careful where you get your bees from, is what I want to say....It seems to me that every time they talk about Africanized bees, they talk of Arizona first. They are supposed to be here where i live too but I havent come across any...Yet.... But theres people(just a few, mind you) in the local bee club who have told me that ALL the bees around here are Africanized, and they kill off the bees that they get calls about to come get.I dont think they know what they're talking about..( Now watch,.....I'll catch some by accident, and they'll probably stay) :(
NWINBeekeeper, Yep, thats kind of the way i feel....I got the bees, but I'm sort of slow at doing everything I need to do...I'm kind of taking a step at a time...You know, doing it when i need to do it. I've been really lucky at this bee thing I've got going on...No beetles..No moths...Havent seen any mites but i got the stuff for them this Fall anyways... Caught some swarms, seen a few queens...LIFE IS GOOD to me so far..(Hey thats the words to a song!...Joe Walsh!)....And you know,....I'm no expert....But everybody within miles THINKS I am!!..Aaaarrrrrggghhhh!!!! :-D
your friend,
john
