interesting that you should mention this.  i have been stalling putting in
my hives for the last 3 years and finally decided to get on with it.  the
normal excuses, not enough time and not enough time.  planted lots of things
that they supposedly like.  i'm NOT SURE where they are going, the bees, but
it's not in this yard, 1.75 acres, or the neighbors yards.  everyone says
they never see them.  however, in six weeks three hives produced 4+ gallons
of honey and pulled the comb from foundation.  they mut know something that
they are not sharing with me.  yea, we talk every day!
