Wow, 80 would be wonderful.

X2! I miss 80's! It's 52° and rainy here.

I just mixed up a jar of swarm attractant. I'm going to bait one of the hives today. Even though it's rainy, it's going to be warm for at least a couple more days and I don't want to miss the opportunity to catch one.

We once had a swarm so large the bottom half broke off & formed a new swarm. The nearby bee man was all to eager to take them off our hands. Bees & multiple toddlers don't appear to be a good combination,

BTW, Jess, If you ever need a relatively close hatchery, there's one between us, just below the MD/PA line in Emmitsburg...Deer Run Farm

Well, my incubator apparently gets as high as 104 randomly for no reason, and I can't change the temp setting on the top and it gets as low as 93..... WTF?

Thanks for letting me know! Meyer's hatchery is also very close by, in South Fork. I think that's MAYBE an hour from here?

That's closer than Deer Run; they're only 1/2 hour from me; 3 hr. for you. What direction is South Fork?

Sounds like you need a new one, too
