he is a cute little bugger,  I hope you make out all right with him.

you might have to get a puppy if you run into "issues" with him to fend off the women folk.

lots of dull bands and chains

There's a fine line between turning firewood into beautiful things and beautiful things into firewood.

I've heard a couple local old timers say "That when the golden rod is ripe, and the hives are full of honey, and the weather is just so, its time for the hives to split."


Well, My sister and brother in law were witness to this very phenomenon a week ago yesterday.  We were going back to De Tour from Sault St. Marie and just out side of Pickford I noticed what looked to be smoke coming from the top of two different trees a few hundred yards a part.  Turns out they were honey bees.  The interesting part of this is that between Pickford and De Tour Village, we counted 77 swarms in total in the tops of the tallest trees in that given area. A distance of less then 15 miles. It was a pretty amazing site and the part of the golden rod was right on.  The weather was overcast and very moist, probably around the mid seventies for temperature. It was great fun for Lynda and I to be scanning the trees and saying THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!  :)

It never occured to me that someone might think anything I've related about my past experiences would be untrue. It kind of let the wind out of my sails I guess. I guess I have led a much more interesting life than what I realized, and others who have not, cannot comprehend it.

I feel the same way about a lot of my past.

I thought I saw a swarm last week to. It was the same idea as Jeff's swarm in the pic.


Sure are lots of basketball sized hornets nests on one of our thinning blocks.We've found at least 10. Gotta leave a 5 meter buffer or be attacked. That's if your lucky to spot one.  ::)

I just did a google on this a few eeks ago wanting to see an update. i just did one again since the thread popped back up. I hope Jeff's experience is a good sign. Here is what the latest "experts" say. Yale Global Bee Report

I don't have a clue so maybe a Forestry Forum Bee Sigthing Report is in order.

So is that Racoon on solid food, or are you giving him some kind of milk substitute?
