TWISTEDWILLOW Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Lol Scott, im sorry but all I can think of when I hear the term “you guys” is either sloth from the goonies movie or frank burns on mash complaining at Hawkeye an trapper! didn’t y’all ever say y’all back in Nebraska?

Scott NC Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Frank Burns! He had a chip on his shoulder lol.... No, "You guy's" mean't the exact same thing as "y’all" here and I used to make fun of my sister for using y'all but not so much anymore. My brother from Atlanta too.

George N. M. Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 "y'all" is a useful construction. "Standard" English does not have a you plural and "y'all" or "you guys" fills that gap. I knew a lady from Tennessee who said you weren't really from the South unless at some point you had said "all y'all" as in "all y'all come on over here." "By hammer and hand all arts do stand."

alexandr Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 It got warmer and the snow almost melted. It's time to work on the apiary. Made a canopy, tired of shoveling snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 That’s a awesome idea Alexandr! I don’t have bees anymore but if I ever get them agin I’ll have to try out something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Does the canopy improve survival of the colonies? I have a friend who started keeping bees a few years ago but has trouble keeping the hives alive over winter. Beetles got one this winter but often it's condensation in the hive that gets them. Snow tends to seal them off but without it the cold gets them. I suggested he build a pitched cap to shed snow and allow positive ventilation so exhaled water can escape but I don't know how effective that might be. I know nothing about bees. Frosty The Lucky.

It helps in our climate, it can rain for more than a month. Bees don't like humidity. It is very important that the snow does not cover the entrances (летки) to the hive. 16 minutes ago, Frosty said: allow positive ventilation so exhaled water can escape The bees themselves ventilate well, the main thing is that the entrance and exit are not closed. Excuse my English))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I'll link your pictures, I don't know enough to be much help. Any thoughts about beetle infestations? Your English is just fine, better than a number of native speakers. Thanks, Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there are a lot of hornets, I put an additional barrier. They won't be able to get into the hive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 He uses an effective hornet barrier. Thanks Alex. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Last week the Clark County Fair was held in my little valley of 7,500, and I helped my neighbor who is the Rotary Club president work one of the beer vending booths. Everything went fantastic in that the weather was perfect for selling beer (80's90's) , just a slight breeze, and lots of visitors as the Covid mandates were lifted. This was their best sale to date, and the money raised goes towards scholarships for local kids to attend college, or trade school. Looks like they can do 10 scholarships so far. I have not seen what the visitation was this year, but it had to be up near the top compared to years past (70,000+) The following week has brought strong winds with gusts up to 50mph and temps dipping down into the 40's at night. Yesterday was bad for wind, and today it is pretty nice. I'll have to venture out and survey for any damage and strewn items on the property. Happy Easter everyone!

Goods Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yesterday, while I was in the forge, the sky just opened up and dumped quite a bit of rain. Thankfully, the storm was not violent. The best part was as it started to calm down the sun started streaming brightly in the west window of the shop, but it was still pouring down with even more lightening. I thought it was a good view from the forge. Our neighbors across the street send this picture later that evening. I guess I missed the best view!
