A Minnesota Beekeeper in Spring
March 31, 2018
With the pickup day for the bees fast approaching (7 more days) you would think that the spring would be here in all of its glory. Not in Minnesota. We are in a Winter Storm Warning. We have already got about 10+ inches of snow, and now it is blowing and drifting.
Still have a few things to do before they arrive. I want to make up some sugar syrup, and add in the Honeybee energy drink I made to it. A few more odds and ends to prepare the apiary. Nothing major, just finding the board that slides under the screened bottom board for the Lang. (The Lang needs a name….) get smoker starter fuel ready (that is my way of saying shredding some paper). Also need to replace the lighter that I had for my smoker the past couple of years.
Well, once again, think spring!
Thanks for reading along.
