I checked on my bee colonies a couple days ago. The winter weather has been brutal this year, and it’s my first winter keeping bees. My fingers have remained crossed every day since I started this adventure. There is a tremendous amount of information to learn, and then try to apply to be successful. One colony I obtained in October as a cut out from a barn with my mentor, despite my best efforts, did not make it all the way through winter. The other four hives, when I knock on the sides with my ear to the walls, have a lot of buzzing. I’ll be extremely happy if my four colonies get through the year. Spring can’t come soon enough for me and my bees!

Something like that sounds more like grocery shopping and not hunting therefore it's not for me. As frustrating as a long season can be without taking a deer I still would not use something like that just to say I killed a deer.

A good old fashioned winter, incessant snow and cold every day it seems, a lot of shoveling, blowing and plowing, I am getting worn out! Al

No doubt. Single digits and winds at 20 to 40 again for the 2nd day in a row. It does look like 30’s maybe 40’s next week. Let’s Hope!!

It's 10 degrees here in Ontario with a real feel of minus 4 degrees . You can have this weather !

Happy birthday belated! : )

lol. That’s the one I’m leaning towards!
