Hello Fellow Beekeepers:
        Ken Lawrence here about 25 miles north of Kansas City Mo.
        Pulled honey off of 12 hives yesterday and brought home 19 supers
full.  Left 2 supers  on the hives to help out on the room as there were
many bees.  I have this yard close to a large Basswood Tree grove.
Honey sure tasted good.  Have the water heater heating up now so will be
unncapping in about a hour.  Still have 18 hives to remove from but in
different areas.  Some of the hives have 6-7 supers plus they are
pulling out fouundation on hive bodies.  This has been a SUPER year on
the first honey flow.  Have 100 supers and about 10 hive bodies on my 30
hives.  Some hives will have a new Queen this fall or have company of a
strong hive to go into the winter with.  Need to get supers off and back
on for the soybeans.  Soybeans are in bloom here now.
        Well off to the beeshed with a big grin.
        Hope y'all are having a good year.
                                        Ken
