I doubt I could have gotten help that fast.<br /><br />BTW: use your bee brush to dust off the powdered sugar on the top of the frames too. <br /><br />I need to get into my hives and see what's up--and now it's cold and I've lost my window to do so.Kristin https://www.blogger.com/profile/04323713538989288259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-5189303789657840952011-01-27T08:24:40.750-08:002011-01-27T08:24:40.750-08:00It's true, I really do want curly hair.

We do get summer so perhaps I shouldn't complain only what should be spring sometimes feels like winter. You know what I mean.<br /><br />On to the bees: Beautiful. Funny how the sunny coloured bees have the sunny disposition.Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-24887780361332483052011-01-23T19:41:06.942-08:002011-01-23T19:41:06.942-08:00Cool photo's of the bees!Cool photo's of the bees!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-20639059507103823882011-01-23T00:22:37.018-08:002011-01-23T00:22:37.018-08:00Great pics!

The side by side was also cool - I guess I have it in my head that all bee's are generally the same but apparently I'm sorely mistaken and rather misinformed. I loved the edification. Hope to see more bee posts in the future. =)Just Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008462659487802315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-17497923086829023802011-01-22T12:39:44.454-08:002011-01-22T12:39:44.454-08:00Daphne, sorry.

Oh, I suppose I could harm them, but if left alone, they're like the Little Engine That Could.<br /><br />Susan, thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Ribbit, I was thinking of you!<br /><br />meemsnyc, you never know. Maybe you could bring it up in casual conversation: "Hey, want to see these cool pictures on a blog from California?"<br /><br />CVS, I haven't really noticed. But I don't monitor the way I "should." My hive stand is galvanized pipes laid parallel to the hive opening, on boards. I put a ring of goop around that, and theoretically, the ants can't get in.<br /><br />GrafixMuse, isn't it a rush?

Looks like a very robust hive! Do you find your ant problems increase after dusting with powdered sugar? Some of our bee guild members suggested their ant problems exploded when they started dusting. I'm still trying to figure out a style of hive stand to build to help stop the little raiders from breaking into the hive. Thinking ahead of course, our bees won't be here until April.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-4917175124355029982011-01-21T17:57:04.986-08:002011-01-21T17:57:04.986-08:00I really love the side by side photo!
