hows the weather holding up there, brother?

I've heard Chicago-land is supposed to get a pounding. Here, there's
40 mi gusts, 35 degrees and spitting snow occasionally...

I just feels plain cold outside. *the wind drives the humidity right
though coveralls

snerk you wear coveralls?? I do have a white Tyvec suit I wear for
bees, but only with the funny hat

man, i didn't know you were a fellow beekeeper!

COOL!

I did it when young. My uncle had bees. I slide my dirt bike into a
stack of supers one time. I had many many stings on me!- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, then I had to go to the house, and suit up, go back on the hill
and fix the stuff. My uncle didn't even have to wear a suit, he'd
usually just put on the helmet and screen, unless he just got some new
bees. I remember one time somebody called him because they had bees,
he took the siding off of athe old farm house, and there were more
bees and honey than I ever saw. He got a bunch of honey when he
extracted it, plus the bees. We took some comb and put in some supers,
put the bees in, but the whole mess in the trunk of his car and went
home!- Hide quoted text -

That's the kind of guy my dad was. he was very careful and sometimes
wouldn't even wear a helmet and netting. But would wear shop saftey
glasses and a long sleaved shirt. When I worked with him on hives. I
got whacked a lot. Actually I think dad kept me around the hives for
"bait"


I got a really funny story to tell you about bees and me sometime...

Years ago, friend was one of the larger bee keepers in California. Wes
rolled the delivery flatbed loaded with hives near Mojave, CA. Said the
Highway Patrolman told him he was going down the road about a mile to stop
traffic. Wes said, probably a million upset bees. Most of the Western
states rented Calif bees as was cheaper than trying to keep them overwinter
in the snow areas.
