Title: My Main Beeyard, Chinese Tallow Blooms, Etc...
Post by: JP on May 16, 2008, 10:09:43 PM
This morning I went over to my main beeyard, it was rainy and the bees were tucked in their jammies. I took some pics of some of the stuff that's blooming such as chinese tallow, some privet and another white flowered thorny vine, I don't know the name of. Also took some pics of the hives.

Perhaps someone knows what the thorny plant with the big white flowers is.

JP, that is quite a beautiful field and bee yard! About the only thing I did not see was a chair where you spend all of your off time. You do have off time, don't you!!!!!!! Keep up the great work with your swarm calls and cut outs.

Dennis, this is my main beeyard, so when I go there I work. No time really for sittin' around. Now the hives I keep at my house are for pleasure. Thanks for the feedback! ;)

Is this someone else's property?? I just love the setting and finally get to see where you have placed all those swarms. I was beginning to think you just let them loose after a while Ha!Ha!

Show us the beehives on your property. See you finally shared the photos and now I want more. More, more hives!!!

Just kidding
Take care

Annette, yes, this is my friend's property, my main beeyard, he has 13 acres. We have property in Ms, been too busy to put bees there, they would be neglected if I did, don't want that. I will be adding more hives at my friend's place as my other yard is in the city and I have more than I want there.

Glad you liked the pics.

Funny because I also have my beehives on my friends property who has 20 acres and large orchards, gardens and flower beds. I think they would not do so well on my property.
