Swapping out the Sugar Water












We gave the bees their third quart of medicated sugar water today. They will get up to one more quart to treat their Nosema prior to the beginning of the honey collecting season. The assistant beekeeper is pictured actually making the swap.
**You may have noticed by now that in most of the blog, the so called "assistant" is doing most of the work. This is a little trick I learned from watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom as a child. I always remember the older man's voice saying things like, "And here is my assistant wrestling a boa constrictor on the edge of the swamp. A matter of life and death as he tries to avoid being squashed by the mighty constrictor or drowned in the process."
