Yay! It takes a village — even just an online one.

Thank you Dan Shure and John Bernard who I’m sure had his part in this creation…..These two solve many problems over hours of conversations in The Black Cow and elsewhere..

Thank you Michael for the weblog.
Thank you John for a wonderful first experience with the Croton Bees. The live demonstraionmade it easy to see the answer to the question I came with. And, I learned lots that I didn’t even know how to ask about.

This morning’s meeting at Maryknoll was great! A big thank you to John for sharing his expertise and conducting a collegial “hands-on” (no gloves) session with all the nice beekeepers. It will be fun sharing information on the blog. Looking forward to our future meetings!!

i think i might have solved my excess drone mystery. i experimented with inserting blank frames into honey super (missed queen excluder).
Those frames had almost 100% drone brood. Bees had the space to do so and did.
this is bringing up new questions about mites, i read that often too many drones take the ‘hit’ of mites in the fall?
