I'll be glad to get them back tomorrow. I hope the girls are doing very good. I'm gonna put them in a fenced in area behind her old barn. Nothing will be in the front yard this year. I've gotta take the fence down that is behind her old barn. It was 1 of her stinky old goat pens.

We've got a ferile hive in an old tree in the back, and I was surprised to find it bustling with activity yesterday. A week ago, there wasn't a bee to be seen anywhere around it. This year, I want to put a hive box nearby, and see if they'll swarm and populate it on their own... it's GOTTA be a better environment than the old Catulpa tree...

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

There is an old walnut tree at the end of our lane that has had a bee hive for quite a few years but kind of intermittently the last few years. Two years ago there were some very small bees in it; don't know anything about them but they were quite small and a lot of them.
Catalpa trees remind me of the wood lot that my grandfather planted back in the late 1800's. Some black locust too that they used for fence posts. I could never drive fence staples into the dried locust posts when we had to repair fence. Catalpa was relatively soft and didn't last as long as the locust. Neither lasted like the hedge / osage orange posts though. In later years we cut a couple of catalpa and hedge logs and made some boards out of them. The hedge is very yellow but will darken to a red-brown in light. Sorry to get off the bee topic.
