Yup. We know that very well. You say several hundred one day
and seven hundred the next. Which is it? Do you know?
reply:
Well after several years of no rain really prior to July and hardly any spring build up with later warm weather and rains in Dec the buds on plants now looking at seem different and bees not on rations feeding yard to yard......and by end next week will be done with all yards and then have time for maintenance work and this year. So since bedded down heavy though 3 yards ransacked again that I had to fix, I have to have to keep bees from swarming a few hundred boxes ready that in past years wasn't necessary.................so some few years you work down and then some you work up..........and ave number maintain about 700 so now if having to add for 2-3 years hopefully here we go again...............but it's still me and doing then work myself since about 2000 now................. as for money, when Ed died the bills with hosp took that so just normal workings, but still goin.
