The company use to do Walmart clean up and one day there was chicken running around. Lost and not knowing what to do when the owner came out and caught her and put her back into the car. He said that the chicken sometimes even gets into the engine area or was it the axial. They can be very annoying at times. I hope they Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175122257113629717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-46732037074765373322016-02-26T18:37:55.023-05:002016-02-26T18:37:55.023-05:00Hobo - Well the one hive if it is dead, which I am...Hobo - Well the one hive if it is dead, which I am about 99% sure it is at this point, just kept pumping out swarms and by late Summer I noticed it's activity level was going down. My guess is they got a dude queen or maybe she died and they couldn't replace her. The other one I am not so sure about perhaps I didn't leave em enough stores cause it seemed like a pretty strong hive PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-64660652963732841082016-02-26T18:31:33.103-05:002016-02-26T18:31:33.103-05:002 flocks of robins yesterday. first i've seen ...2 flocks of robins yesterday. first i've seen and just in time for very cold, windy,snowy conditions.deb harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110992898072146282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-85205665985776629462016-02-26T18:20:18.882-05:002016-02-26T18:20:18.882-05:00We had a warm streak followed by a cold spell that...We had a warm streak followed by a cold spell that did in 3 of our hives. Only one made it. And it wasn't even a strong hive. Maybe the cold spell you had got them but sounds like the others have over-wintered well.<br /><br />Dumb question: Why do you paint your hives different colors? And did you paint the inside, too, or just leave them plain?<br /><br />Enjoyed your chicken update. hobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537329021371494926noreply@blogger.com
