Today: playing all day with my 2 1/2 year old great-niece and my 8 week old new niece puppy... a 'silver' Labrador Retriever. OMG they're both so funny. And I am worn out and old.

Runner Beans
I constructed the bamboo cane framework and planted the Runner Beans this evening.
It isn't a masterclass in geometric perfection, but I did it for the beans and not for the benefit of passing structural engineers. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yay, Carruthers! I'm sure the beans will thank you in their own little way!

I've been off since last weekend, which was my regular weekend off. I took off because I was at a training for three days this week. I took Monday off because I didn't want to be up all night before having to go to the class at 8am. Then I decided that taking the rest of the week, including my regular weekend to work off, would be a good idea.
So today I was reflecting on how I managed not to do one productive thing these last couple days, and that I would have to go back to work and ... suddenly realized that I don't work the Monday after my weekend on and ... that's TOMORROW. Another day of completely lazy slacking! (okay, I did something, just not terribly productive. I tried to sort some of my google drive documents into folders.)

We had a newbie beekeeper challenge over the weekend. Minutes before we went out to add deeps to both hives Lil' Pete looks out the window and asks, "Are those your bees?" A cloud of bees were in the air. One hive swarmed meaning the old queen and about half the workers took off. The other half of the workers stayed in the hive to raise a new queen. I found the swarm on the ground. They had flattened some weed the queen landed on. We carefully scooped them into a cardboard box with a brood frame from the other hive. Pete's gonna pick up a hive box tonight and we'll attempt an install. If it works out, we'll have three hives!

Nice! Free bees are good bees. I went through my hives yesterday - they're building up quickly. These are 2 new packages of Italians this year, plus a nuc of Carniolans. Added upper deeps to both. Here's a nice frame of brood.

Oh, nice save Griff!
nowhereman, you should have been around here when a truck dumped about 20,000,000 bees on I-95. Talk about free bees. ![]()

Looking good man! Do you have a preference for the Italians? I have video of my bees marching into the hive, that was so cool. I'll post it if it ever loads to youtube.
