>"Here in Missouri I don't remember ever seeing propolis like I see this year." - EM
That's a good point. I did see a lot of propolis production this summer - many of my inner covers were glued heavily to the frame tops - and I switched over to wooden frames with plastic foundation from solid plastic frames this year to avoid that kind of issue. While a hot summer, we had a lot of rain, so the trees did very well, as did most plants. Would have been a good year to make propolis tincture.
>"Wooly worms mostly all black" - BH
Well, mine around here have all had a large brown band, which I define as being at least 40% body length, having not seen a clear definition anywhere. 40% makes it larger than the black bands on either side, and is easy to see. So, now I am conflicted. Either the bees or the woolies are out and out lying to me. Only time will tell.
