Where is everyone #5

Swarms will requeen when they split and raise their own queen. She's the biggest one in the bunch. Get her into a nuc box and all of the rest will follow her right into a hive. It's all in that book and the best bee book I've ever read. Here's a utube about it.

 

Well learning sand has been an experience. Sandbox has a lot of over the top safety rules, their new app is alright, but the paperwork and process is a little more complicated than it needs to be.

Overall its not bad. Less sitting than dry van, but none of the work of flatbed, which I miss. Same roads, facilities and well sites most days. There's no uniformity to the loading process at different facilities, obviously well sites are different, but thats not a big deal.

The $ is there so I'll keep running it till I can buy a step deck.

 

Eh.

 

I'm glad I didn't show up at 6 like they asked... came in at 930 for a recommended 10 ship time: "oh it'll be a little bit"
~you know I'm standing here in person watching you NOT do your job and get this unit ready...?


Better hurry the #### up- I got the bread and juice and I'm the head deacon tomorrow @9am prep time.

 

When you tell them too hurry the ef up you know there going to be at the service first thing in the morning

 

I don’t understand pre season college football...




..... we can talk sports in October when hockey starts up again though.

 

Seen that happen once in my life. They were super tame too. Walked right up to the swarm and they didn't even care. I'm allergic so I didn't care to test my luck. They just gradually moved from a tree, to the porch steps, then to the lawn. After about 45 minutes they were gone.

 

These guys didn't care what I was doing either. I walked up to about 5 feet from them to get a picture and I got back in my truck.

here is a link to the ND beekeepers

toss them a note with the location and see if they have somebody that will deal with them.

 

Went to the Evanston Cowboy Days Rodeo tonight.

Back on July 4th we had a fire right here in town and they cancelled the fireworks display. They've decided to set them off tonight so we're parked up on a hill by the school waiting for showtime
