That’s the reason I didn’t get bees yet. I was afraid to mess up. Gonna jump in next spring.


I read books and watched who knows how many hours of YouTube videos. I’ve screwed up all sorts of things. Best way to learn bees is having some and trying not to fail. I’ve had more frustrating days than I can count, but when you get a good honey crop or have a grafted queen come back mated, it’s a lot of fun.

Pillage.

How does the Chinese Tallow look in your area? I’m in the Brandon MS area and it’s just about to pop.

My tallow is looking good.


Our accidental squash plant(didn't know we bought and did not want) is the most beautiful plant we have. Initially all the fruit rotted. Now, not doing that. May have been from a change in fertilizer.

I'm sure there's some in my area, but I don't really see any around my neighborhood. From what other beekepers in my area are saying, it's on like Donkey Kong right now.

My bees are bringing in a lot of very light colored pollen. Occasionally I see some dark orange colored pollen. I'm not sure of their sources, but they have them.

There's plenty of pastures and agriculture in the area. So, it could be a good variety of things.
