Oh, Well

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.
