| Moved bees | Beekeeping | [17-Apr-2023]
Moved bees to the new enclosure. It was a disaster. Weather was fine at my house, closed all the boxes and loaded them up. Thunder and Lightening by the time I got there. One of the boxes came apart during transit. Bees all over the outside. Stung like crazy trying to get it out then onto the stand. Left it closed up since they were flying all over in the headlights and pissed off had to go back the next morning to open them up and straighten out the boxes. Took one hive to the other location and it promptly poured down rain so moving that box from the jeep to the stand in the rain. |
| Electric Fence | Beekeeping | [14-Apr-2023]
A bear was reported on the Hill about a half mile or so from the bees so had no evacuate them all out and build an electric fence. Been meaning to move them out into the pasture anyway. Fence is up around about a 25 x 30ft area. Installed most of it last weekend and connected the charger last night. Now need to move bees back as soon as I get the nucs straightened out. |
| Snake | Main Page, House, Beekeeping | [06-Apr-2023]
Was checking nucs yesterday the birds were gong nuts. finally went a looked and an oak snake was half in the bluebird nest but the little birds could do nothing about it. Pulled it out, didnt see that it had swallowed anything (but the eggs are small so it might have). Drove the snake off. Im sure it will come back when im not home. |
