Things sometimes go wrong regardless of our efforts. We've all made mistakes and enjoyed successes. It seems to come with the territory of keeping bees that we live and we learn as we go. I hope you will reflect on all the good you have done for bees and all the minds you have inspired with your wit and wisdom. We're going to open our hives for an inspection this weekend and we may find slime and SHBs too. You can never tell with bees.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02777513495995940724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-11008489111261139712010-08-31T09:00:45.764-04:002010-08-31T09:00:45.764-04:00Linda, we all have to live and learn and I think y...Linda, we all have to live and learn and I think you are a great beekeeper!! Hang in there.

Selfishly, I am somewhat comforted,as a first year beekeeper, by your woes as my hive is failing and may not survive the winter. Heck, it may not survive until winter. I will try again next year, if it does not work out.Deus Ex Machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425336387322313716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-59003977796443320572010-08-30T18:33:13.744-04:002010-08-30T18:33:13.744-04:00Ahhh, we're all learning by doing.

I felt awful and will never make that mistake again, (I'll make some other one no doubt)! Thanks for sharing both your succcesses and your failures. I know I've learned so much from you.Dorishttp://honeyofadiel.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-69364631398192910822010-08-30T15:01:50.682-04:002010-08-30T15:01:50.682-04:00You are not a terrible bee keeper, you just had a ...You are not a terrible bee keeper, you just had a bad year. You have taught so many of us so much through sharing the successes and the disasters.
