The record breaking heat wave has kept our bees busy and hopefully finding lots of wonderful flowers and nectar to give us lots of honey this season. When I checked my hives last, the propolis was so sticky from the heat it was stretchy and gooey!
Our dear friend Harry Gaulke has been ill lately and is now recuperating at the Carillon Rehab Center. Hopefully he will regain his strength and be able to return home in the near future. He would love to hear from his friends. The address there is 830 Park Avenue, Huntington,NY 11743. A card, note or visit would be appreciated.
Our sincere condolences to Miguel Valentin and his family on the death of his wife Ellie. We remember Ellie so well from the Pig Roasts and her famous recipe for Peas and Rice. She struggled with her illness for so many years and Miguel and their family were such loving caregivers. Our prayers and thoughts are with them now as they mourn. May Ellie Rest in Peace.
