Hello Dave:
Ken Lawrence over here north of Kansas city Mo. Bees are working up a
storm here. I have 28 hives and have 92 or 93 supers (med.) not all
full but sure are working on them. Dutch, Sweetclovers (yellow and
white) are in full bloom. I had a rally good Dandelion bloom which
helped mine. I started out with 3 hives of my own and adopted 4 more
that I split and made up my 28 hives this year. Lost 28 out of 31 last
fall to mites. Looks like I will have a chance to try out my Cowen Mini
Uncapper I just bought. Still have soybeans and Buckwheat flows to come
yet.
Hope you and everybody else have a HONEY of a HONEY YEAR.
Ken
