After a nap, I headed out again, the second of three busy days.\u00a0 This time I went to Jax, a return to the 1950’s with dark wood paneling, a lovely buffet table and Jean-Marie’s \"jax-matchbook\"milestone birthday.\u00a0 Happy Birthday, Jean-Marie matchbooks, the whole Jax touch.\u00a0 I met Jean-Marie’s daughters and spent a good bit of time chatting with her oldest who until recently was a graduate student under Marla Spivak, the bee goddess of the UofM.\u00a0 She and Jim of Nature’s Nectar, whom I saw later, convinced me to try and keep my old parent colony.<\/p>\n

The elegance of the Jax setting made for a dignified tone.\u00a0 Other docents came in and I spoke with Joannie Platz, Toni de Lafour, Marilyn Smith and a few others.\u00a0 I saw Allison as I left.\u00a0 She has a very fashionable red knee brace.<\/p>\n

A long drive out to Stillwater to Nature’s Nectar to pick up Apiguard, Fumigilin-B, shims, hive stands and corks.\u00a0 Jim’s a knowledgeable guy and easy to talk to.\u00a0 He gave me some good advice about the parent colony.\u00a0 He requeens every year, so the need to eliminate the old parent colony is not so high.\u00a0 With tests and assays I should be able to keep on top of the mites and other diseases, too.<\/p>\n

The drive back from Stillwater was in pouring rain; the first time I’ve driven in really heavy rain this year.\u00a0 Back home now and dry.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is the docent lunch at noon, then the UTS event at 6:00 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
