Glad you're back among the living. Had quite a summer, I see. I've been getting involved w/Facebook, reconnecting w/old friends from HS, etc. There are several folks that are quite taken w/my beekeeping. 1 guy was going to come over to help me pull my 2 short boxes. He was 24 hrs. late, but I got it done! Abt 2 gal, all frames capped well. Put another ckmite strip below as the beetles are back. The split never took either time, you or Doug's efforts. Think I'll just get a pkg next spring. I took that hive, set it in the corner by the fig tree and put some cedar balls on the bottom board and blocked the entrance to discourage wax moths. Of course, the roaches love it, but whatever. Not using anything else. What I'm getting to here is that some are showing interest in learning. I could set up a date in my yd to just let them look things over and see if they want to class in spring. Would love it if you came by as well. This is just an idea that crept into my brain today, so I've done nothing further. So far, they're just asking questions about misinformation and my honey. BTW, where do u get ur plastic bottles? I have been saving, but mostly glass and I need to mail some to friends. Not interested in selling @ this point 'cause I don't have that much. My friend in Ak even wants some to do a taste comp there. Mine was darker this fall, but good flavor. And I have your fireweed honey for ya. They had a horrible season last year, this year was so much better that they're getting $16 a lb. in Fairbanks! Have a bottle for Doug too. You guys do so much for me and I really appreciate it. Lo Hey Peaches!
