Author: Not much to say for myself the last few days. Easter weekend, invaded by pestilence yet again, blah.
- Our house is being shingled today. Unfortunately, the weather calls for a high of +1 and 4-5cm of snow. Better Jim doing it than me.
He’s a nimble guy for pushing 70. The guy was scrambling around on the roof like a mountain goat at 7:45 this morning. - The hive construction is going well. The body’s done and it has legs. Now for a roof and the top bars. I should be able to have it finished by the weekend. I’ll post pics then. Damn, it had better warm up soon.
- With some luck, Pete and I are heading to the cottage this weekend. By luck, I’m hoping that the ferrymen will have cut a track in the ice for the boat. One of these days, I’ll go over and watch. I’ve never seen a ferry track being carved out of the ice with chainsaws.

It is cold!!!!!!!!! Bees are such a good idea. Plus your kids will learn an unusual lesson.

You bet, Gary. How to deal with stings, etc … LOL
It had better warm up soon. I’m picking up $125 worth of bees in mid-April, and I’m not keen on having then starve to death if nothing’s blooming.
can he/you push it back 2 weeks for delivery?

Dunno. I’m going to call him this afternoon.
Take pictures of the ice cutting, Gordo. I’d love to see that also, it sounds really interesting (although cold!)
