Beekeeping season is in full swing. I hived my nuke last week and checked on them over the weekend. They were busy as could be. I added a honey super to my overwintered hive and all the girls seem to be happy.
The last meeting was well attended again with lots of interaction and new members again. Welcome Creighton Wirick and Barbara Guidi and several new people expressed their interest on the website. Hope to see them at the next meeting.
George’s message this month led to an interesting discussion with my daughter and son-in-law this weekend. Both of them are avid readers and they had of memories of bee related stories. One of them is Ellis Island by Mark Helprin which has a great story about a Rabbi who decided that there should be a whole month dedicated to the honeybee.
Thanks to Greta here are a few pictures from the Hive tour. Thanks to Moira and Dave and Wayne for opening their Apiaries.
