A lady at work had a swarm-if only you lived close enough or if I only knew what to do!!!

Back when I was a young man on my parent’s swarm catching team, I always felt like a Ghostbuster rolling up to the scene. Who ya goin call?!

I don’t think you’re crazy, I know it. After being stung so badly that one time I would have thought you’d give it up. Anyway I’m proud of you that you help people and build new hives in the process.

Don’t ties do wonders for your chainsaw too! Used ties will have so much sand and dirt worked into them. I have not used ties simply because they are so damned maneuverable. We are near the end life of our current raised beds. They were from a bundle of culled 2×6′s that I picked up real cheap from one of the local lumberyards. I think that they’ve done their duty for five years. Our railroad is due to have a tie gang through this year, replacing most of the ties in our area. I might think about hauling a trailer load in if the timing is right.

We are only in the South by geography. We are more Appalachian than typical South. There is a definite difference though I am not sure I can explain it!

That looks bomb. And btw, doesn’t WV count as The South?!

Looking good. We’ll be down around harvest time for a garden dinner.
