Update

I disappeared for the summer and fall. Things went well, until the summer got hot and dry. And dry. And more dry. And then work got busy, and I got bronchitis, and, well, the bees suffered in more ways than one. I will almost certainly lose one colony that never built up well. The others... we'll see.

So no honey for me this year. But the great thing is that there's always spring to look forward to!
