    Deficit Issue

    We don't produce like we use to..America was a leading producer of manufactured goods.Thats what made this country great.Unions are good for workers, but have taken a toll on buisnesses, causing them to lose the leading edge.We can't compete with cheaper labor in distant lands.So now we are a...

    BeeKeeping...Feeding Your Honeybees...

    Never knew about the cinnamon, interesting, thanks for the tip. If the bees aren't affected,why not on inner cover?, sounds good to me.A strong hive will keep ants in check,but they still are annoying pest.Did you mean using small twigs to wedge under inner cover for ventaltion..? Not sure how...
