Interesting how some things seem to be timed just right. I was into my
hives yesterday for the first time in two weeks (seems like the hurrier I
go, the behinder I get) and found one to be queenless with a laying worker.
Think I'll just watch and see what happens. But boy, are the ones I doubled
doing well!!! They just exploded, and they are laying in so much stores and
building comb so well that my supplementing worries evaporated. Don't
remember when I felt so tickled. And here, halfway through my second season with the bees, I still have not seen one sign of varroa, or any other
disease. I praise God for that.

Nuff blather. The real point of this is to ask Dee if she cares to expound
a bit on the above quote. I don't really understand what is being referred
to.

Thanx, Joel
