Honest...Hi Nancy :) The fence and gate looks great! Honestly I don't know what to say about your bee evac as you know I suffered a little trauma from that swarm. I actually spoke with my neighbour and he told me that every two years, they bring in the boxes of bees to pollinate the blueberry fields for harvest. They only keep the boxes there for about a month then take them away. He said everyone in the area knows about it and stays away from the trails during that time. When I told him what happened to me, he felt bad and said he should have let me know, as he knew I walked the dogs there. So...at least I know now. In a week or so, the boxes will be gone and I can walk there again safely. Every two years, I have to avoid the trails for a month!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040199365888949396.post-27668153187760937612021-06-06T20:11:11.757-06:002021-06-06T20:11:11.757-06:00Yes Mama we were really lucky!

Italian bees are known for their gentle nature and we've had them many times.<br /><br />I love that you've used the metal fencing rather than wood and wire. We need to put new railings on our deck and we've actually looked into the metal panels much like you've used. No decision made yet.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040199365888949396.post-38128655870216070682021-06-05T09:00:55.084-06:002021-06-05T09:00:55.084-06:00Thanks Judy yes we're in a totally different s...Thanks Judy yes we're in a totally different situation being in an urban area. While we do have some Hawks in the area we only had one incident with one of our smaller chicks. But I was able to rescue her. Yes protecting your flock is all always a really big priority. Dare to look even better when the veggie area is full of things that are green! For planting a bunch this weekend I'm getting some of the seedlings I started into the ground as wellNancy In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749272217529362089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040199365888949396.post-10272239579891680972021-06-05T05:04:39.943-06:002021-06-05T05:04:39.943-06:00Wow you two are busy.

We even had to bury the hard wire a few inches cause of diggers. Dont want anything to get at my girls. So nice you were able to save the bees. There were quite a few of them. Looks like your yard projects are coming along great and everything looks so nice.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057678084525434307noreply@blogger.com
