What did you do in the Apiary today?

[Millet]

You rather hate them or love them, for me undecided Finman has a hell of a lot more knowledge and experience than i will ever have so he gets my vote for now..

I Wise man learns more from his enemy than the fool from his friends I take to many bee keepers and try to take everything on board what they say as a small or large twist to a way you do somthing can change things for the better no matter who said it now I did nothing today in the Apiarys

When I first started beekeeping I learnt a lot of crap from old beekeepers with their two feet stuck in the mud and still they preach the word of nonsense beekeeping. I take every thing with a pinch of salt and research before believing what is true.

Heavy flying in 13C. Pollen entering all colonies and all crown boards warm under insulation. Spring.

At beginning of my beekeeping I accidentally met my mentor ( someone would say destiny or it is had to happen that way), I looked of his results in beekeeping and how is functioning his beekeeping operation.. I wished until I become completelly independent and aware of reasons for every thing I do, to make all his mistakes and don't invent new ones.. Mostly I succeeded, didn't regret a bit..
Not least important, that my mentor still attend lectures, learn all the time.. I am trying to follow this also.
Not to mention that we are still good friends.

I like the sound of your mentor. Some people say "do as I say, not as I do", but, he is leading by example. What more could you ask than for someone who is always asking "Why?"

Watched all 3 of my hives and happy to see all the girls out and about in the 13°c and coming home with baskets of yellow pollen.

I must have a big dirty cloud following me about, because just about everywhere i go within a 300 mile radius the weather is crap, it's rather sunny and baltic or raining and mild.

 

[For want of a better word]

I applied some fondant to one of my colonies

Nos da

Lucky man.
I have met some professor beekeepers and I'am still scratching my head with some of the statements they make, and I have met some new beekeepers who think on their feet and I instantly know they will be successful, and there are those that need some encouragement.
Some proclaim they know it all but only a fool would believe them.
