Honey Bee Swarms

March 25, 2015 - I got my first bee swarm call of the year last week. With spring underway, this is the time for honey bee colonies to divide and multiply.

A swarm of honey bees can range in size from 4 to 5 thousand to 20 to 30 thousand. They hang together here in a cluster, their little legs hanging on to one another.
It is an incredible process that takes place every spring and is often repeated well into the summer.

And while it is an awesome sight, it may be a little scary if you don’t know what is happening.

Simple Test To Check Soil Drainage

March 16, 2015 - If you are reading this, it’s obvious that you probably enjoyed yesterday messing around outside. Be it your yard, landscape, or vegetable garden, you couldn’t wait for the sun to shine and your ground to dry out.

Yet recent rainfall has left many of our soils far too soggy to work. The simple advice is that you work with your soil when it’s moist, but not wet.
