Very Cool. My grandparents used to keep bees.

DocK16,

Any evidence of the colony wasting syndrome that has been in the news?

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

I’ll trade you some wood for Honey.

Looking good. I was also wondering about the colony problems that you read about in the news/

We had hives when I was a kid, and I miss having bees. And having the honey harvest in the fall, and rinsing out the extractor with tea and having a sweet drink that beats the heck out of soda pop…

Yummy…where is the bread and homemade butter to go with that honey. It sounds like a nice compliment to your woodworking. And, since you build wooden boxes (hey Don – wooden boxes), that qualifies as woodworking!

We have 2 hives (my business partner and myself) I actually have one just so I can say my polaris ranger is an impliment of husbandry and can ride it around on the roads in the neighborhood.

I’m trying to waste a colony of yellow jackets that wants to make home in the shoddily constructed roof of my bow window. Fixing that roof is a project I wish I did eight years ago. Do yellow jackets perform any useful function other than stinging gardeners and ruining picnics?

Wayne; thanks now I feel really old.
Bob B. Lot of work but only in the spring and summer. Alot like woodworking you won’t get rich doing it.
Deb: You’re such a cut up.
Dan : A great idea I’ve never heard of.
Bill: Nothing better than fresh honey on bread right out of the oven MMM mmmm!
Drew Think I could talk my wife into a polaris?......you know a buisness expense.
Woodspar If yellow jackets have a useful function I don’t know what it would bee, ha ha, they try to steal honey all the time.

I think I detected that we are a year or two apart….
