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.
For some reason I consistently read this threat title as Bjork Bjork Bjork.
Sounds like a neat hobby. And great for the local plant-life, too.
This title combined with my current tag makes me laugh. I feel like I'm having a rhyming fight with Natter.
Hee, Pix, I think you're winning.
Yay bees! The SO wants to get some masons.
Mason bees, I mean, not guys running a secret society.
BORK! SPORK! BJORK!
Hookers and blow everybody! :)
I'm procrastinating since I have very little real work to do. What I SHOULD do is just DO IT, and have it done with. ...and that's never been my style.
This weekend I am going dancing (yay, it's been two weeks because I was on vacation, and now I am craving some twirling!). And then I don't know. I should probably make some plans.
What I am trying to figure out: if I change my plane ticket, I can attend a conference. But I don't have anywhere to stay (host hotel is sold out, and I've asked a few friends if they know anyone who needs a roomie). There's a message board for attendees where I could ask, but you have to be registered. I don't want to pay $150 for registration until I know I can go. Argh!
Mason bees, I mean, not guys running a secret society.
You could have both, I'm sure.
My brain is now trying to turn the badger badger badger song into something with sporks and borks and bjorks.
Meanieheads. I tried Drench once, and now it is broken.

Our collective procrastinatory power killed it. RIP
