Today was an unusual day. It was almost 90 degrees Farenheit. And muggy.
I opened my Italian hive around noon. They’ve drawn out four frames of comb. Tomorrow I’ll add a second medium super.
Around 2:30 pm, my neighborhood’s electricity went out. I didn’t notice it much because I was weeding in the garden.
The lights and air conditioning came back on at 6:30.
Tomorrow I’ll open the other hive. And replace the red ivy geraniums on my deck with pink ones!!

It looks so much a natural part of the garden decor. 🙂
Thank you! I thought it wood look good with all the pink and green going on… 🙂
I’m so impressed at the size of the hostas in your garden! How do you protect them from the slugs and snails?
The snails eat my dahlias and leave the hosta alone! 🙂
🙂 aah, that sort of protection.
Yes, I have trouble using chemicals and I don’t want little bowls of beer in my garden. 🙂
I’m with you on not using chemicals. I’m trying crushed egg shells this year but have also found copper tape, if they are in pots, to be very effective. I might invest in some of the copper rings for the borders.
I will have to look for those! Thanks!! 🙂
