OK Here is a revised list of those coming to POOPS in Fletcher on MAY 14.
I am ust trying to get as accurate of a headcount as I can.
Please check the list and let me know of any omissions, additions or subtractions
and I will update the list.
Hope to see everyone there.

Just think how much trouble we could get ourselves into with enough working incubators to hatch 1000s of chicks/ducks/turkeys each week.
I only think my feed bill is terrible now
It is nice to be at home, but hard to sit around - the only thing keeping me in compliance with doctor's orders not to lift anything heavier than 15 lbs is the pain I feel when the meds wear down. We had to move all the bees Monday evening to facilitate the trenching of a sewer line through the middle of the former bee yard. I need to walk across the street and see how the bees are doing in their new location, but need to have the meds in full force before I walk that far. Dean thinks they are trying to start a new hive in the old location, which they won't be able to do unless they can convince the queen to leave the hive and go with them

Unless you go into the hive, it is just a nice kind of boring to watch the bees fly in and out of the hive. It gives me the sense of peace I get from watching eggs hatch - for hours at a time.

Do you ever go into your hives? To check them before winter or anything? Do you plan to harvest honey this year?
