Woo! I chopped down the weeds where the bees are supposed to go, and there is not, in fact, lawn under there. Which is good because I was going to dig up any lawn and replace it with ground cover that doesn't need mowing so as to not be potentially bumping the hive with the lawnmower - that plan will be much easier to carry out than I anticipated.

I didn't know you were gonna be a bee-keeper, -t. Nifty! Do you have plans for the honey and wax?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't get the addictive game to load. I think you are all taunting me. Or you have broken it.

Not plans as such. I'm approaching it more as having a pet beehive then anything else. I get my starter colony with queen sometime the next couple of weeks, it'll be a few months at least before there's excess honey and wax to be dealt with. I do expect to be extracting eventually, though.

Oh, I do plan to give honey to my neighbors to thank them for not complaining, since having a hive within 50 feet of someone else's structure is technically illegal and our houses are too close together to abide by that. And I eat local honey every day in hopes it will help my allergies - can't get more local than from my backyard! That adds up to about a pound a month.

Sounds like a neat hobby. And great for the local plant-life, too.

The status is NOT quo.

This title combined with my current tag makes me laugh. I feel like I'm having a rhyming fight with Natter.
