    I live with an AR Selch remember, I talk from experience and you're flippin hard to live with. Mind you, I bet Gaz would say the same thing about me, totally and constantly messing up his neat little life (well the one that he strives for anyway). The thing is, he gets so stressed out about it I worry he'll either get ulcers or have a heart attack. He just needs to take a chill pill every now and then like a lot of these forumites if you ask me. Cor, they don't half get wound up over stuff don't they? I mostly just say stuff for the hell of it - I'm a quiet unopinionated gal underneath all my bravado - it's all a self-defence mechanism you understand. In fact, being in NZ has helped Gary chill a lot he's nowhere near as bad as he used to be. He can actually sit down for a cup of coffee before he starts cleaning up when he comes in from work now. Progress!!!!!

Once again our intrepid explorer has ventured into the bees’ domain. There were two frames well filled with capped brood (pupae). These were last week’s fat larvae. I was able to identify several capped drone pupae – they’re larger than workers, so their cell caps stick up like warts. The eggs have become larvae, and more eggs have been laid. I didn’t see Queen Boudica, but she’s been around recently. I’ll not fret unless she & eggs are missing next week. I don’t want to pester the hive too...

The bees are great. I inspected the hive Sunday, and found that everyone is very busy, including Boudicca (the queen). Lots of comb, eggs, nectar & pollen. I probably would have seen larvae, if I had looked at some of the "older" frames. I was so careful to not bother them too much that I really didn't inspect very well. I think I'll go back in today or tomorrow. I'm wishing I'd gotten two hives, and might get onto the swarm list, so I can collect a free one. I just need to get some...

I finally got my bees Sunday. I am very pleased and excited over them.

On Saturday I fussed around for an hour or two setting up the hive and making sure everything was placed just right. The hive is set over a drainage ditch, so I was concerned that the boards wouldn’t hold the weight. Karin helped decide that a double layer of “cross ply” 2”x8” boards was probably fine. Then she promptly took off for the rest of the weekend, no doubt worried that I would ask her to help install...
