>Two questions for you Randy.  Is the El Nino bringing rain to the almond
areas or at least to the north to fill canal's?

Not yet.  We got a good storm over the weekeend--finally snowpack in the
Sierra!  Will take a lot more.  We are still hoping that El Nino kicks in,
which is good for rain, but lousy for bee work and move in (and fungicide
issues).

Good question--if you go to the Purina website, you can buy emu chow, ferret
chow, alligator chow, etc!
I guess that Purina doesn't realize that there is a market for a complete
bee chow!

David, my guess is that what is lacking is the right lipids and sterols.
Hence, many beeks mixing in egg yolk and vegetable oils.
