Finally, my first sting of the year! I wonder if it a chemical addiction of sorts or just an official mental beginning to the season. I know by the time February hits I look forward and desire that first sting. Maybe that's why they call beekeeping a disease. It always hurts and I have heard many experienced beekeepers use some interesting vernacular to describe it, but boy do I need it!
I've been to half of my yards feeding patties and am happy with what I see. 2 yards last fall had some issues and those yards had my biggest losses. So I hope that the second half that I will see in the next couple days will be as good as the first half....hang on, I hope they are better! Maybe I'll remove the 'sold out' sign and sell an extra 20 nuc's.
