Mooching fishies -- oh yeah, they'll be great moochers. LOL reminds me of when I was in school I had a fish that lived on my desk (in the bowl ) and he'd mooch - and since I was at my desk alot, and the subject material was not fun - he learned quickly I'd give him snacks when he did things. Thank goodness he didn't learn to jump out of the bowl!!!

That would have been so fun. Roll over, play dead...lol

Just saw this. Would be so amazing for our bees to be able to defeat Varroa mites, without as much intervention as we currently have to provide. Gives me hope for their future as well as ours.

Found the bog filter!

The milkweed is blooming.

I'm going to start OAV tonight. I haven't done a wash, but I know it's time to treat. I've gotten into the hives so much the past month, I just don't want to disturb them yet. I do however need to get into Hive #5 to check for Queen cells. That probably won't happen until Tuesday or Wednesday.
