returned home w one frame w capped queen cell, and hive 1 w lots o actiyt

drive to wshf. swarm in asparagus gone. need to check all hives.

lunch around 2:30. messages- swarm at wellsweep. i need to unload, then load to be ready forcwshf.

seeds, what about linda, wanda and rusty?

the rest- remembering cathy. her hives, floral prep solutions, cachepots, books.

so much for long pants. at least all eyes got through the day and no poison ivy so far.

coffee, sweat, frogs, dogs and machetes that did not cut enough branches in my amateur hands.

gram and alexandra played at a cardtable in the shade.

three thorny honey locusts are now horizontal. some lonicera are full of berries but no longer have veils of wild grape. i could not keep up with Sean. his clothes survived the thorns and prickles much better than mine did .

today started with hacking multiflora rose, barberry, bittersweet, and japanese honeysuckle.
