All package bees installed

All bee packages installed.
Anyone tired yet?


Better rest while I can.  Queen bees start coming in next week for making hive splits, the package bees installed earlier need another box, weather is getting close to being acceptable for mite treatments on overwintered hives, less than two weeks till I need to deliver hives to apple orchard for pollination, still more equipment to clean up from the dead hives. 

Although beekeeping is hard work,  I am grateful to the Lord for his blessings.  It is amazing to witness God's creation at work.  He created the sun, which the plants were created to use.  He created the honeybee to help the plants reproduce.  He designed into the plants the secretion of nectar, which the honeybees need and desire for their honey production.

Since the rush of life wants to crowd out what is truly important, make sure you slow down and take time to ponder and praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
