And then there was one. 🐝 We combined our hives yesterday to give them the best possible chance of surviving the winter. Neither colony had even a full 10 frames of honey, which didn’t bode well. We put all of the honey from the left hive into the bottom box. Made sure we found the queen, and laid some newspaper on top as a divider. Then we did the same from the right hive - all honey into one box which got set on top, but we caught the queen and removed her. We didn’t want to risk losing them both in the eventual death match, and the Left Queen seemed stronger. The theory is that by the time they chew through the paper, they’ll be used to each other and just combine. And I’ve got a whole hive set-up to expand again in the spring, and a few frames already drawn out with comb (though plenty that don’t have comb at all, so I don’t know what they were doing in there). #backyardbeekeeping #kennebecbeekeepers
We’ve been married ten years, and parents for seven. We’re property owners, even. And we didn’t have a will. 😬 I think the process was just really daunting, and we didn’t know how to make it fit into our busy life. No more. Thanks to Trust & Will, we’ve both got estate plans, and it only took about 10minutes. It was so simple - far easier than I thought it would be! Their site guides you through a series of questions, and compiles your answers into legal documents that you can download or have printed and shipped to you. I feel so much better knowing we’ve documented our wishes for our children’s care. 💛 (Curious? Need your own plans documented?
