Spring Bee Hiving Moon
Naps. Not possible when driving long distances or engaged in workshops all day. But I had one today. The first time I’ve felt fully rested in two weeks. Home is where the nap is.
Realized while waking up that I may not be able to keep bees this year. I promised 
grandson Gabe last year that I would be at his birthday party. That happens on April 27th. We’ll leave sometime that week. Right now the new package arrives April 12th. That would make hiving and checking the colony 7-10 days later to see that it’s queen right just possible. Even then, leaving them just after I’ve hived them? Not the best plan.
This would be a good year to skip, too, since we still have almost 70 pounds of honey from last year. Probably doesn’t make sense this year.
I was unable to keep up my exercise on the road, though I had planned to. The cold, then inertia. That means I’m starting back today after a little over two weeks off. Like the football players, I have to knock some rust off. Will be good to get back it. I missed exercise this time.
