Lughnasa Moon of the First Harvests
Drove out near Stillwater today to Nature’s Nectar, a bee supply store. Picked up some miticide and some honey robber. Also, some knowledge. Geez, hard to believe I missed in this school. “Never,” said Jim, proprietor and keeper 0f 75 colonies, “Never do extraction outside.” Oh. Well. I know why. The bees all come and want some. But doing it inside never seemed like an option. Now, all of a sudden, it does. Cardboard, plastic sheeting and everything inside where there are no bees. Would be way simpler.
(note: outside)
On the way out the clear blue sky with cirrus horse tails high and wispy kept firing memories of Canada. A magical place, in my experience, a place I could live easily. This sky, wonderful.
