In 2015 I was in Worcester. We had supper in Worcester...at a pub named Talbots. They had three brews...This, That, T'Other. Funny the things we remember. Anyway, with the Morris Dancers practicing in the back room with their staffs, I sat across from the area SBI. Her husband sat next to me...

I thought I would add a hack of my own... This is my shaker box. It's a sound hive body with an excluder attached to the bottom. Do you ever have trouble finding a queen. That queen that you absolutely have to find now. This is the kit I use and how I use it...

Sometimes I have to be dragged kicking and scratching into the future. I have a cell phone because phone booths are a distant memory. I text because that's the only way I can contact my help. Now this. About time, eh? frenchhillapiariesdotcom

On my trips to the UK, I have started a collection of bee association pins. Is there a way to add to my collection? Will clubs sell me their pin?

Well, two days ago I could have driven into all my 40 apiaries. Just getting ready to start checking for feed, and wham! It began snowing at 9am yesterday, and by the time I let the dog out for his night walk, he had to swim through the snow. We've had more than two feet of snow, and it's still...
