Beekeeping Adventures: Two new packages installed
http://silkhopebees.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-new-packages-installed.html
Have moved from NC to WA, will not be updating this blog any more, but keeping it as a reminder of the bees in Silk Hope. Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Two new packages installed. Have to get a few more hive parts as one package went into a nuc, which at this rate they'll outgrow soon, but apparently the plastic foundation is hard to get hold off so not a good time to be putting new boxes together! Snohomish, WA, United States. Professional software engineer, full-time dad and part time at many small things.

Have moved from NC to WA, will not be updating this blog any more, but keeping it as a reminder of the bees in Silk Hope. Friday, May 25, 2007. Well it's been 11 days since a box of bees became a hive of bees and it was a little worrying as things took longer than the text books all say they should :-). Basically here's the calendar:. Monday: installed the bees. Saturday: checked again, comb is being drawn, sugar syrup is going fast and the queen is still active but no sign of eggs. Links to this post.

Have moved from NC to WA, will not be updating this blog any more, but keeping it as a reminder of the bees in Silk Hope. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Well, we didn't do it last year but this year it was clear there was a lot of honey mountain up in hive #1 so we took the plunge and decided to harvest. First step was getting the honey off, this didn't seem like too much of a challenge after all I already had a bee escape - easy right? Links to this post.

Beekeeping Adventures: April 2007
http://silkhopebees.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Have moved from NC to WA, will not be updating this blog any more, but keeping it as a reminder of the bees in Silk Hope. Sunday, April 22, 2007. One more step closer. Links to this post. Thursday, April 5, 2007. I added this post because I had found an interesting book from the library while waiting for my bee package to arrive, The Backyard Beekeeper. By Kim Flottum. The Chatham County course included Beekeeping For Dummies. Oh, I also bought Teach Yourself Beekeeping. Book, which is nicely laid out bu...

Living Local on the Flathead: Life Returns
http://localflatheadliving.blogspot.com/2010/03/life-returns.html
Living Local on the Flathead. Gardens, bees, little children too. Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Another garden location. never too many, right? Life is returning this broad river valley, pushing the quiet, gray winter higher and higher up into the mountains. It is good to have this time at. What so recently looked like this. Now hosts this. beautiful baby spinach greens unfurling from under last autumn's fallen leaves. I am so glad you are so early to emerge! Garden flavors are shortly on their way.

Living Local on the Flathead: May My Favorite
http://localflatheadliving.blogspot.com/2010/05/may-my-favorite.html
Living Local on the Flathead. Gardens, bees, little children too. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. My favorite time of the year here. The flowers bloom and the plants start their fast and furious reproductive sprints. I find myself walking circles around the house over and over again, checking and double checking every plant possible for signs of sudden growth. What an exhilirating time of year! Finally we have our raw cow's milk. Fresh cream. ohhh nothing better! Garlic, thinly sliced, to taste. This can be sco...

http://localflatheadliving.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Living Local on the Flathead. Gardens, bees, little children too. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Hiving the Bees II. The package is opened. After hanging the queen cage, we jostle, as gently as possible, the bees into the opened hive. They fall out in great clumps and masses but seem calm nonetheless. The bees in their new home. Two entrances plugged with grass, the main entrance already guarded. Sarah demonstrating the calm of a beekeeper. When will it finally be the right time? We inspect the queen, take out...

Diary of an Incompetent Beekeeper. CONFUSING EFFORT WITH RESULTS. Will it ride up with wear? Beekeeping in the news again, this time The London Evening Standard: http:/ www.standard.co.uk/news/london/rise-of-the-urban-beekeeper-london-rallies-to-plight-of-the-humble-honeybee-10283958.html. Comedy-size beekeeping Marigolds. How on earth can she handle the frames with those monsters flapping around her fingers? The suit is on the generous side, too. No doubt it will ride up with wear.
