With all the people posting on beemaster thought I should do a little update.
I have been doing a lot of work with the fire dept. since I have been layed off form my job, I am going to start the fire academy in February. As far as beekeeping everything is going fine here.
I am going to get a better camera tomorrow so I hope to post some new pictures soon

Since the last time I updated I have done a few things I added a new flower garden for my bees. We did the first area in seeds for butterflys and hummingbirds, The second area was Aster, Slvia, and a few others I can't remember the name of. I also sowed a small area of greens some for us to eat and some I will let grow till they bloom.
I also started working on 5 frm nuc boxes for next year. Today not doing much of anything because it is raining

Yesterday inspected new nuc was going to do my 3 hives but it was just to hot and humid. Went and checked on 3 hive this morning notice they were bringing in alot of yellow and dark orange pollen, The yellow is more than likely goldenrod and the dark orange maybe marigold

Today not much going on raining here. Gave nuc feed.
Bought a 5ft peice of 1/8 wire or #8 wire $16.85 you would think the stuff was gold
anyway now I can build my feeders for my hives and screen bottom boards
Yesterday afternoon I set out 2 vitec bushes don't really know how it is spelled but they are in the crapemyrtle family.
Also had somekind of bee war going on at one of my hives, but they were beating the attackers

Today I begin my new blog and my first blog. This is a way for me to keep an account of my beekeeping successes and failures. And if anyone get help form it, that would be a plus. Yesterday, I completed building new hive stands and started moving hives 3 feet at a time till I get them where I want them. (Bottom right picture)
