Today we went to check on our bees and hive one was devastating, so many dead bees, only a few trying to eat their way through the wax box to free the Queen. It's very sad, there are maybe only 20 bees in there. We don't know why, but obviously it will be a weak hive for awhile, if it survives, because there are so few bees trying to do the work. I'm just praying they survive and thrive, I hate to see this happen.
Hive two was a hub of buzz-iness, looking very healthy and settled in. They seemed happier, too, as nobody was interested in buzzing Mark while he changed their sugar water. Yesterday, they were the aggressive ones that chased him and hive one had been the happier friendlier lot.
Mark put together another planter for me, and I planted some bulbs he had bought. I don't know how they will do, they seemed very dry to me. We shall see. Everything else is flourishing, and the clematis - I swear they've grown another couple of inches since yesterday!
This evening, I've been propagating gardenia and rosemary cuttings. I hope they take. I didn't have much success with the last batch that I did, not sure why as I've usually got a pretty green thumb.
My computer has started acting up, the battery won't charge (and - of course - now the batteries are locked in) yet runs ok off the cord but at 0% battery. UGH! I'm going to have to take it to Geek Squad at Best Buy tomorrow and have them put me in a new battery, I guess.
That's about it for now, I'm done. Lying on my bed, relaxing, and may well be asleep within the next hour. Blessings all.
