.. on second thought, that isn't a good idea. But there would be a bed, and three meals each day.

@bamadude
Rebel Cowboy tweaked this a bit for me, here is the line dancing bee party.

3goodeggs cool!

Why do they do that?

 

[3goodeggs]

I have no idea.
That is why Rebel put it on you-tube for me, so I could mail the link off to people who might know. Both hives, in unison for two days.
I have never seen them do it before. I am hoping they are not predicting a natural disaster or anything.
What is the opposite of a natural disaster? I want that.

Then it's hopeless.


But my son told me that one of his math teachers did his PhD thesis on some sort of honey bee math.

3goodeggs cool!

Maybe spring cleaning? you cant see if their wittle tongues are licking the wood... Can they lick?

To our nursery which is seven miles away.
But we need a sleeping place. Sell here to build something very small there, but where do we sleep in the meanwhile?
It is a chicken or the egg thing. Which comes first? Build there with borrowed money but what if we can't sell this and then can't pay back the loan?
I don't like to borrow money.
That is why I am glad chikie can sell timber, It gives them a buffer between rock and hard place.

Thanks 3goodeggs

that was what was giving me a migraine. We didn't have the money without borrowing to buy a new place until we sold this place and if this place sold where would we put ourselves and all this stuff and critters until we found a new place and what if we borrowed the money for the new place and this place didn't sell and since we didn't know what we were doing we had to go with a realtor who takes a 6% cut of the selling price for doing all the work plus all the other seller expenses, so would there be enough left to buy a decent new place,,,,,,,,,,,,

so we don't have a lot of high value timber on the back forty (literally back forty acres) but we do have a LOT of pulp trees and fortunately the price is up on pulp wood again so

between the mostly pulp wood on the back forty and the better hardwoods on portions of the front 25, it should give us needed wiggle room.

The logging itself will have to be done in two operations. The front 25 and some of the back 40 is high ground and can be logged anytime and will be done first but most of the back forty where the majority of the standing wood is is low ground with several small springs and can't be logged until the ground freezes. We actually didn't think we had enough wood worth logging til a logger came and took a look showed us otherwise.

BTW-I love your video. Very interesting!!!

Big news!

We had a logger stop by and after some discussion, DH decided to put the selling/moving on hold and let him log off the place first. This will give us more time to get things squared away, get our plans better organized and give us more money in the bank to do them with. Now I have to switch gears and get my veggie gardens prepped!!!!

WOWSERS! I am glad that you are happy about it, and glad that you will get some money from the lumber, but so much better you than me. I do not do well with the entire wiggly plan thing.

Good! That is good news.
We are thinking of moving ourselves, and do not really know how to go about it. Do we crack the egg first or squeeze the chicken?

oooooh... where would you move to?

People here buy an old motor home or house trailer to live in while their house is built... If you buy an old travel trailer you could gut it later and use it for storage or keep it as a Guest suite.

I have no idea what the codes are in Florida.. But even if you paid 1000 dollars for an old beater I bet you could sell it again for what you paid for it.

On the spring cleaning,
Yes, but we watched them for hours. The first day I thought it was dew, but they kept at it way past any point of moisture, They were not the forager bees, or the nurse bees.
Maybe it was bee flight school calisthenics for the ones getting ready to move up to forager ranks.

I looked it up.... some people call it washboarding and described it like a line dance.... on this board they didnt know why they do it.

another source that is not a discussion board He talks about Washboarding at the very bottom of the page again no one knows why.
