Honey Bees get really mad when you kill their sisters. Not to mention they had drone brood in the burr comb that I ended up killing as well. Makes em really mad even with smoke. Without smoke they will literally cover you.<br /><br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-24896860758430124982015-07-06T20:23:25.067-04:002015-07-06T20:23:25.067-04:00Sf - I think the rain made the ants attempt to inf...Sf - I think the rain made the ants attempt to infiltrate the hives even more. It may have cut down on the wax moths and worms though as I have not seen any tell tale signs of them.<br /><br />I have noticed my bees will work the cucubit blooms all day and that's about it from the garden stuff. I have walked out and noticed very few bees working the locally planted soybeans too over the yearsPioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-58291485976532545172015-07-06T20:20:28.392-04:002015-07-06T20:20:28.392-04:00kymber - Maybe this will be the year.

I left clover growing in the garden in a couple of places and bees are attracted to it but I seldom see one on a vegetable bloom, it seems like bumble bees and small native bees that I can't identify like the beans and squash blooms. Lots of wild flower/weeds blooming in the fields now.
