[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1795936, member: 42782"] Nice potato field :) Hail was falling yesterday and I ran out and put the caps back on the strawberry crowns. Good thing I had not set out the tomatos. We went to the county beekeeper meeting last night. The lingering cold weather on the entire west coast has been a problem. Virgin queen bees can't fly out and get bred. We also learned about the male drone bees. Theres 100s and 100s of 'em in a hive when it only takes one. They spin not, weither do they sow. They don't work guarding the hive, pollen gathering, honey making, brood tending or anything. They just sit around in the hive and eat. Not only that, every sunny day all the males fly out and spend the day lounging in the sun at a'staging area' such as a warm rock. By the fall the worker bee females have had enough and they sting them all to death to reserve food for the winter. Drones have no stingers. [/QUOTE]
