Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[Fields Mountain Farm]

Don't got no emoji, but I fear that my birds may head the same way. Over the past month, bees have been finding chicken feed very attractive, for some reason. Come late afternoon, the chickens can't get anywhere near the feeders

Is there nothing that will keep them away? Or maybe some new traps?

But in no way useful or informative

I agree with Shaw!! It would be great!!!

After Mr. G time, who the flock would care?

I'm sure DH you have

Not me, for sure - but I seem to be on the only partial to gin Y'all should start drinking at lunchtime, then we'd all be on par

I'd love to!!! But I have a 4 yr old grandson to take care of during the day so might be best if stay sober...

Africanized Bees have made their way to the west.... They will attack in mass...

I think it was an entomologist in South America that crossed African bees with indigenous ones? Either way, the result was not quite what he intended

I was thinking of asking what i could do - not sure there's too much - maybe providing some kind of alternative food (honey and water, maybe but then I don't want them swarming around - it's bad enough, as it is)

Just give ya grandson a tot or two - he'll be asleep while yer happily stumbling around
