Mmmmm...Elaine brought donuts today! I meant to pick up a raspberry filled - ended up with a lemon filled - hate it when that happens! We beekeepers are all about the food!
Anyways, today Buddy went over more on bee anatomy, bee castes (worker, drone, queen...) and brood nest inspection.
I brought my Jr. Beekeeper, Alex with me today. Beekeeping is a good way to stay connected with my teen. He and I ran a station on when/how and why to do hive inspections. He helped me get everything together last night down at the honey house, again really good bonding time. I like helping with bee school - it is nice to meet so many interesting people, plus I get a little refresher course each year right before spring beekeeping starts. We aren't meeting next Saturday for school, but there will be a FCBA meeting. I'm looking forward to bee school in 2 weeks.
