So, uh what do we do in the winter?

[Nakedapiarist]

are we supposed to cluster with other beekeepers until it warms up or something?
I'm missing my weekly bee related drama

I see it as my time off, giving me time to do woodland management and shoot stuff

 

[Erichalfbee]

Don't worry. There will be plenty of chit chat here without having to shoot anything.

Although it would be nice to shoot some of them

I started to go to all the winter talks run by local associations - they are actually good fun.

 

[For want of a better word]

Or something ...

Expect a couple of forum disputes involving neonicotinoids or some irrelevant subject, fuelled by alcohol late at night leading to suspension for the worst culprits.. based on prior years...

Drama? You ain't seen nuthin yet. Wait for the cabin fever to set in and the fighting starts

No .... that's an all year round sport ... just peak season when he's holed up in the snow with a tanker of Vodka parked outside !

Winter: the time when we plan for the following year and attend association meetings, once again getting a reminder that the collective noun for a group of beekeepers should be "an argument of beekeepers!"

 

[enrico]

Well I think this whole thread is rubbish....... Want to argue about it?

 

[REDWOOD]

Well I thought it would be nice to have a break on Sundays but SWMBO has found lots for me to do before Christmas grrrrrrrrrr
I shouldn't complain I have spent lots of time this year with my bees and with JBM at the association apiary training our latest.
