Bee Corral
It would appear another weekend has slipped by into the past. Much was accomplished this weekend. Saturday was cold and overcast, but we were out in the yard, none the less. The goal for the weekend was to get the Bee Corral built. It is less (and not intended to) keep the bees in place, but more to keep the hounds out of where the bees are to be. Located on the north side of our shed; morning sun, late-morning sun, and sun the rest of the day -- the bees should like the location.
Think spring; gardens and bees
I was doing well with minimal spring fever until we were dumped on by a large snow storm Christmas Eve; an unpleasant mix of wet snow (totaling 24") and rain. The usual cold snap after the snow froze things solid; many a snow-thrower shear pin were thrown in the ensuing cleanup.
