Comments on: Bees in the Trees http://www.yellowfarmhousegarden.com/?p=916 Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 09 Jul 2015 22:00:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.1 By: Bob http://www.yellowfarmhousegarden.com/?p=916&cpage=1#comment-1289 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 13:23:23 +0000 http://www.blogsmonroe.com/gardening/?p=916#comment-1289 Chris, Thanks for following along on the bee blog post. I currently belong to the Southeastern Michigan Beekeepers Association. I’m not sure if there is a local club in Monroe or not. You may want to contact the County Agriculture Extension office to find out if they have many information regarding local beekeeper organizations.

I am pleasantly surprised to hear that they have continued to build comb and stored honey this late in the season. Will the population be sufficient to fill one or two hive bodies for the winter months?

I am located in your neighborhood, presently have 3 hives, and know I am a novice after keeping bees for the past 12 years. Do you belong to any of the beekeeper associations? Do you know if there is a club in Monroe County? Should there be a club in Monroe County?

They have consumed about 30 pounds or so of syrup and look fine. They have stored up a lot of honey and have built some new comb, those are good signs that they have regained some strength. I’ll post an update now and then on their progress. Bob

Wonderful pictures! How is the hive doing?

Honeybees are having such a difficult time right now. I believe we should do whatever we can to help them. Thanks for sharing. I encourage other readers to visit your blog as well. Bob

It just clicked (going to your other blog) who your wife is and where the eggs I bought at Matthaei came from! :-)
