    AARP anyone?

    Their politics are not my cup of tea . I joined them once, never again - and I've told them why. There is a conservative version out there somewhere, I just can't think of the name of it.

    Everyone favorite ways to keep recipes?

    As I've mentioned before, if you're a techno-geek like me, Living Cookbook is a great recipe software package, I've been using it for years and it does everything I want. I do have some favorite recipes printed out and stored in the kitchen, but to keep them organized it's in the computer -...

    So I hived my bees....

    Slowly. Move slowly, and put the furthest end on (you're holding up the nearest end to you). Then slowly lower the cover. They will move out of the way, for the most part. You're going to kill bees in your hive manipulations, but with slow, deliberate movements you'll minimize the damage.

    So I hived my bees....

    You could, although after three full days (plus transit time) you may be ok to pull the cork - do it sooner rather than later, though, she needs to get out and get going, and any worker attendants in there with her need to get going, too.

    Asparagus beds and beetles

    As usual, Grampa was right. You need to remove he spent foliage every year, burning it is the best. That's about the only thing I've heard of regarding asparagus and beetles.

    So I hived my bees....

    I can't stand operations that don't provide the candy already inserted, it's so much easier to let the workers release her rather than going back in and having to pry a little wooden peg out - shame on them. There are some who advocate an immediate release of the queen. Most go with the slow...

    The Care and Feeding of Internet Trolls

    Yes, trolls are everywhere. If you suspect one, hit the report button - DO NOT handle it yourself. The mods here need to know what's going on before it becomes a huge problem forum members try to deal with - this causes threads to be pulled and usually not returned, as the cleanup is too...

    So I hived my bees....

    By 'frame feeder' do you mean a division board feeder? You have to feed, feed, feed until the flow starts, and the trees in your area start to bloom so they can gather pollen. Also, how are you handling youe queen?

    And the fun keeps going on and on...... Yesterday hubby went to my chiropractor because the hip that has been bothering him isn't getting any better. We were told it was bursitis. He had gone to get x-rays but he didn't follow up with the office - he also had seen an associate, and not my...

    Freemotion, sorry I haven't been back to my journal - I'd definitely love to trade, maybe some keffir grains? I live right off Route 3, exit 13, not on the Cape, we're 20 miles north of Plymouth. Anyhoo, let's see what we can work out! My thoughts turn to spring - and trying to shake this...

    You have GOT to be kidding me............

    Parenting is a very personal thing, what we choose to teach our children comes from what we were taught, and our own life experiences. The moral code you choose to raise your children with is something you are going to feel strongly about, and it really isn't going to be settled until you have...
