Title: Beekeeping program on RFD Network
Post by: Kris^ on July 05, 2005, 11:37:23 PM
Yesterday at 4:30 pm I chanced to tune in to a program on beekeeping broadcast on the RFD Network (379 on DirecTV).  They were showing installing packages, releasing queens, and medicating with terramycin.  It was interesting watching how someone else does it.  It's a series that shows the development and buildup of the beekeeper's 10 hives.  The RFD program schedule shows the next episode at 3 am next Sunday; I guess the programming varies.  I thought it was worth checking out at www.rfd-tv.com

YEAH!!!  I think it's great.  I have been able to tape a few episodes and they just started the series over again.  My 9 year old watched the first two episodes a couple times yesterday and with me today and with his sisters again (their request).  We worked on his Cub Scout space derby racer and watched it again and he about knows it by heart.  Say something wrong and he'll correct you.  The boy can't wait...nor my daughters...the seventeen year old could care less, just one area he won't have to mow.  I emailed RFD TV and asked if the series is available to purchase, but, no response.  But I'm persistant.  Hopefully I'm not beating my head against the wall trying to get the series.  Thanks!
