Title: Slicko does it again
Post by: SlickMick on March 14, 2010, 10:50:43 PM


From the pages of Slicko's Swarmin' Headlines

Slicko reports that he has just hived another swarm that landed in his Silky Oak tree. The Silky Oak tree is beside the Macadamia Nut tree which is beside the Mandarine tree. :-D

He said that the girls must have been disoriented to land in the Silky Oak when the Mandarine tree was vacant :shock:

He is reported to have said "Bugger" when his wife said that she thought she could see a swarm in the tree.

And Lone wonders where she could get queens at this time of year.  :roll:

Obviously your girls are fantastic at raising queens. You may as well just go into queen selling.

BLOODY HELL!  :shock: And this even after you weakened them and opened up the brood box (at the same time boosting my beeyard  :-D)
