This morning, I picked up one of the hives that was in the goat field ... a dead out. It was from a walk-away split last summer and never was very strong. Going into the winter it was our weakest hive and I suspect a queen problem since there were several full medium frames of honey yet in the hive. I put eight frames in the freezer to use on other weaker hive during the next few weeks.
I am making bee candy again tomorrow and on Monday will check hives and see how they are doing.
I spread clover seed today in several spots ... yellow and white sweet clover. I know they are not native plants but, these areas were highly erodible. Sorry!
We had softball practice at 1:00. I went in to get the field ready and we played until after 3:00. While we were practicing a very large V of sandhill cranes flew over ... they were beautiful and making a lot of noise as they headed toward the lake.
Afterwards, I spread grass seed on Granny's yard.
This evening late as I was putting the seeder and equipment away I could hear frogs down at the creek chirping away. They have been busy every evening this week. Also even though it was getting pretty dark, I could here a woodcock making noise behind the house. I know they are calling for 2 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow but, Spring is here ... the snow, a farewell wave from winter!
