77?! :O
 
Well, yesterday as it's first thing here:

Sorted out a swarmed-out beehive, still burgeoning with huge numbers of remaining bees, so that I have two hives from it, each one with a magnificent Queen Cell ready for a Lady to emerge from it in the next few days. I lost the mother Queen and her older flying bees to a wood not far from us. I hope they do well there.

I remain in awe about the power of life and urgency of reproduction which swarming illustrates so alarmingly and grandly!

That's awesome.

I love finding a hive in the wild.

Rarer and rarer these days.
 
I split a whole load of cherry wood for drying for next winter's fires in the living room stove. Cherry seems to be second best only to Beech. Always get a zing when a thick length splits the whole way with one fall of the axe.
 
I delete mine by the x50 in a flash. Is that considered poor Lit form??

I think it's a matter of personal preference. :)

For the longest time, my box sat at 99% full. I wanted to keep special conversations from all of my favorite people. But it became a burden, and I never went back and re-read them anyway! Now I try to keep it well under a hundred, but I've fallen a bit behind on my sweeping. It currently holds 493, but that's better than the 600+ from yesterday!

I'm a chatterbox. :eek:

I'm content with losing an occasional swarm exactly for that reason. Feral honeybees in the UK were devastated by the combination of overuse of pesticides and the arrival of varroa destructor from Asia. A lot of our managed bees seem to be learning how to preen each other of the varroa which is good news indeed, and the European Union has made good progress on the pesticide controls issues. So I'm glad to be accidentally contributing to the increase of the feral bee population. As long as they go to hollow trees and such [as these did] and not into my neighbours' cavity walls!

Same as yesterday.... Nothing! At least I'm consistant and I do need a sleep number bed. Two matress pads on a new matress don't cut it.

I remember when we slept in a tent on a dollar air float and my wife.

I remember reading that mites actually make the bees more susceptible to pesticides and they work hand in hand to kill the bees, in a way.

Ha! A swarm in the wrong place can be a pain. Dealt with one or two on school campuses.

Good work. :)
