This is my first year and I wasn't to expect any honey--but I had an over achieving queen in one of my three hives. When I checked them, two were performing as expected. only 5 of the 10 frames pulled out--but the third hive all ten frames were pulled out and the bees were getting ready to swarm. So I tossed a queen exluder and another super on top. Now we'll see what they've done with it. The other two hives only have what they'll need through the winter.
Last time I saw one up close I was transitioning from del to va and one walked out into 95... I just started slowing and irritated those around me--but it decided it was too busy and went back where it came from.Mydeer moment was coming off a major ramp from I-95 onto a major secondary road and having deer cross over it just as myself and many other drivers were cruising along. Don't know where they came from or where they thought they were going!!! Luckily no one smashed into them or each other. And luckily I didn't pee myself.
A bear ate my bees.
