Title: New Member - Thumb of Michigan
Post by: pyro-1955 on August 27, 2014, 04:05:17 PM
Live in the Thumb of Michigan, My wife and I just started keeping bees this year.  Hive appears to be doing very well.
Hope to get a small amount of honey from them this year, and to keep my bees alive thru the winter.

Welcome to beekeeping and the forum. Suppose to be another cold winter up here.
Start making plans now to protect your bees. Enjoy your journey!

I don't know.....I got a swarm call today and a surprise.  What looked like a ball of bees at first turned out to be a colony of bees that had about 4 exposed combs build right on an open branch.  Totally exposed like those tropical bees make.  Maybe they're expecting a mild winter?  A sign?

Welcome Pyro.

Welcome pyro, you're fortunate, there's several cold weather beeks on board here. I'd be picking their brains too. You need to be getting them ready for winter soon - I'd imagine.
