I wish I had a spot like that!

That place is looking very good, now for the fun part, using it and keeping it up.

Your newly constructed area looks pretty nice John.
Robins' been stung a few times here too by the bees.They get caught in her hair.Even with a head net.
Doing work on them on nice warm days when most of the hive is gone is the best time to work on them with a smoker of course.Colder cloudy days most of the bees are home and ready to protect the hive.

The splits I made are looking great and queen cells are looking like they have potential.

Beautiful painting, you will cherish that in years down the road , wished I had taken more pictures of my place when it first began.

Hard to remember now what it looked like.

That is a really nice painting John. At first I thought it was a picture looking out your window. Very nice.

Thanks Pappy. It has changed a lot in the last couple years and hope it keeps growing. We had another high school group out and a college group out this week doing ceramics. There was lots of rain but everything worked out fine.

How quick life can change. Annette was walking across a parking lot and was struck by a car. She was taken by ambulance to the ER and checked out. Luckly no broken bones but she is real sore from being banged around. We hope for a fast recovery this week so we can still make it to the classic.
