most often i find my greatest source of stress to be OPS  ( other peoples stupidity )

It is better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and in so doing remove all doubt.

I think the nectar coming in is mainly from blackberry because most of the pollen in the hives is grey. A lot of the cow pastures around my house was abandoned this year so they are just choked full of blackberries  as far as you can see. There is also a lot of thistle in the pastures. Each thistle flower has about 10 bees digging in them.  Its starting out to be a great year. Now i just need to stop them from swarming before the tallow flow. I put supers on about two weeks ago but they are not putting nectar in them yet. They are storing alot in the brood chamber. :?
Who Dat!!!

Ok. I'm not late again.   I'm headed out to run the trap line.
Hope to return with good news:
