Test Time tomorrow and combining hives!

In Genetics first block, we went through the computers in the portable iBook lab to check the Logal simulation software we will use after Labor day.  We also went over some of the vocabulary and topics in Chapter 1 of our Rick Lewis, Human Genetics book.  First test over review material will be tomorrow.  We are trying to get to our mitosis lab by Friday.  Chapter 2 tomorrow after our test.

In selected topics we started our study of genetics.  Today was mostly dominant and recessive traits... a review of Punnett Squares. We will review a little before our first test tomorrow.

We worked on the Skyscraper problem in computer programming today.  A slow go on this difficult problem but, a couple of students have it solved and programmed already.

When I got home, I combined a weak hive I think is without a queen with a stronger hive by placing it on top with a double screened spacer between them.  I will give the top supers a few days and hope the queens pheromones from below will take care of any problems.  I also moved another hive and put on a new bottom board.

Borrowed a cultipacker from a neighbor to run over our turnip patches.  I wanted to put it down tighter in case of a big rain from TS Isaac ... didn't want it to wash away to Long Creek.
