Hi Beeman,

Good to hear the bees are doing OK so far. Hopefully the rain won't be as bad as that forecast shows.

LJ has a dyslectic keyboard; he spells it that way all the time. Maybe he needs something like this?

I could use one of those too.

Hi Beeman, what made them die off ?
How is the nused lathe running ?

Cold nights and lack of pollen would be my guess. Wasps and bees have been gone for the season about a month here now.

They went queenless and did not replace her. Not all parts are in yet for the Lathe.

Well its getting to be late november and no snow this year yet here in southeast wisconsin. Did see a few flakes earlier this week but nothing on the ground. Did have a frost a few times.

Wow, you showed up before mid-night and everyone was sleepin'.
Colorado had snow already.

Robert, Colorado is in the mountains. Most peaks are over 14,000'. Gets cold up there!
