My bees are all tucked in with instructions to come and go as they see fit, but no overnighters. I want all my bees home by dark and no late partying. I myself have been getting into bed as early as 5:30 pm and as late as 11:00 pm these last 3 weeks. I think that I am getting old.

I have checked the beetle traps and food stores. Everything looks good for the winter.  If I am lucky and have done all the right things, then the bees have a fair chance of coming out of winter looking good. If not, then I’ll just have to start over again.

All yawl good people have a very happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your day off.
