Yep, true love, that's all that matters. ick

Yeah, my oldest son keeps bees. He kept some for a couple years and one year a bunch of them swarmed up and flew off. The remaining ones were more aggressive. That winter they died, but he is starting over this year and hopefully they will be alright now. I think he will be able to harvest a little honey this year. He gave them a new addition last night (like a high-rise apartment) They all seemed fine even though the fence was broken and their house was thrown on the ground.

I hope more people will plant bee balm. Glad you do. Yes, I heard of the honey bees fading fast. We really need them. I hope the situation improves soon.
