coconut said:Oh, JT, are your bees OK? I read that last year one third of the whole USA honey bee population was lost over last winter.

Like most things in the media there is a bit of truth to that.The migratory guys,and gals,are the main ones losing bees.They put bee colonies in for pollination and the bees get sprayed with every insecticide and fungicide in the known universe.Of course no one does that but....Those of us who are backyard beekeepers, and who treat for mites,do not have those losses.I lost one hive last year to a failing queen and should have caught that.
That's youngest grandson in the picture.He loves it.
