Kurt, who's suppling the hives for the field day and who is transporting them?

You know how I like to wait to the last minute!
If you will supply 2, I will provide transportation Friday evening.

Can someone tell me (taeler) what time is the field day and what we are supposed to bring? My mom had it all written down in her notebook but then Caleb saw a bug he just had to draw and now none of us can find mom's notebook anywhere. We are excited about teh field day though and even Jessica's mom and brothers and baby sister may get to come.

Do you have any contact info for her??
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2007 8:18 pm
No, but she has been at most all club meetings since I joined.
If you will post your question, maybe I can contact Jerry or George. I know they will be at the Randolph meeting May. 1st.

I just wanted to do my hive manipulation. I didn't do it at the Field Day. I wish I would have. I didn't want to do it in front of so many people but when I got there it was very relaxed and inviting. I really hate I didn't go ahead and do it. I think Kurt said we could get up with somone who was a Master Beekeeper and have them observe us. The guys in Randolph would be fine also.

You will need to notify and allow for a couple of weeks.
The individual in charge has to get a copy of the practical from the State before you can be tested.

Wally....could you pass my question along to them???
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 9:40 pm
Field day was great fun The kids are still going on about all that they got to see and do. I'm glad to have all of the tests over with!!!! ....oops, forgot to say that I'm the mama and the rest of the angels had best be hushin' up and gettin' to sleep since we have a very early and long day again tomorrow.
I hope Kurt's bees aren't in too much of a sore state after all that hive juggling they had to put up with!!! Thanks a heap Kurt, you have some really pretty bees and I really enjoyed getting to look at them. Poor Wally was trying to give me a test and I kept on saying "look how pretty they are in here". I stink at stayin on task sometimes
L&H, I hope you get to do your test soon and don't sweat it....it's just lookin' at the bees!
Ski, it was so good to see you again!!! Everybody else whose names I either don't know or forgot.......have a great night.

Ha that's pretty funny about "look how pretty they are in here".
Wally needs a little comic relief every now and then.
