Like usual I am running a little late to wish everyone a happy Fourth. Still, it’s the thought that counts. Right? Bud and I managed to take the beehives apart yesterday morning, and found that there isn’t a queen in the one. Bummer. Even worse, there seems to be a laying worker, which means she is ...

I am a total loser. But here, in brief, is some of the last month or so in a list (because SHG loves a list and I miss her). 1. The SB is home. Woo hoo. 2. The ducks are still in the basement. It is like the Peabody Hotel around here in the evenings. Absurd. 3. Hopes of finishing the duck house over ...

Damn ants took advantage of my two weak nuc (nucleus) hives and crawled up and infested the place. They were there to steal the 1:1 sugar:water syrup that I had left to feed weak bees, as it was going to be a rainy week. The nucs were made with bees from one of my stronger hives (James) and super-fa ...

All the buzz about bees confuses me. Are they dying off? How can we grow our fruits and vegetables when bees, nature’s pollinators, are all gone, mysteriously felled by the syndrome called colony collapse disorder (CCD)? In my backyard, only four miles from Manhattan, bees still seem able to manage ...
