Well, I never admitted to be a computer wiz. After doin my first blog, I just now figured out how to post another one. Not the brightest bulb in the lot.
 Anyway, since I last posted, I have harvested my fall crop of honey. I got a little over 7 gals. of nice amber honey. If October hadn't been so rainy and cold I would have gotten more.
Right after the golden rod was in bloom, it started to rain and stay cooler than October should be in my neck of the woods. The girls couldn't get out and gather nectar and pollen, so my harvest was down more than it could have been.
 Now that November's here, the weather changed for the better. That's good in itself, because, the warmer it is outside the better off the bees are. They can still get out and gather whatever might be available for them and they won't go into a tight cluster as they do in the winter. The shorter the winter the better off they are. Me too. I gettin too old for the cold that's comin. I'd like it to be in the 50's all winter, but that ain't gonna happen.
 I have four strong hives goin into the winter. Here's hopin that this Spring I will have those four hives to make splits with. I want to split at least two of the stronger hives and get my apairy just a little bigger. The more bees the more honey... funny how that works out.
