Glad to see the post, John.

I have been want to learn this queen raising thing so I built a couple nucs.

Forgot to mention that most of the queen nuc is made from the package that the bees come in.

Good! The queens will feel at home.       You've been busy this winter, John.  Hope to see you and Isaac at the Classic.

Isaac will not be heading to the classic this year but Annette will come with me this time.

Cool!

That's a very exciting project.  I'll be interested to see what you learn.  Want to do that someday in the future.

Sorry to read Isaac won't be making it but look forward to meeting Annette.

Cool project John, I've got a few neighbors here that raise bees. One takes them all over the country as pollinators. The honey from local bees is supposed to be good for allergies to.

Any excuse to put a pan of biscuits in the oven and get the honey out of the cupboard.  Whatever gets you through the morning, bro!

Annette uses it on salmon as honey glaze. Soooo good.

I like honey and Guilden's mustard as a glaze for salmon.

Full weekend of projects; helped Paul paint his remodeled house, then off to another friends house with my tractor  to dig postholes and move dirt for a hot tub area, then home to move Annette's shed into location on the concrete piers. Now as I type this I am enjoying a tall glass of water.
