I post a variety of things here and I take lots of photos to document what I see at any moment and share some of those.

The moved box of bees has hatched some drones and is slowly eating their fondant and pollen patty. They seemed pretty calm so maybe the queen was in this box. It's on top of the bottom box of a dead out that I left 4 frames with honey in plus the empty brood comb. It came from a full hive that received a full box of honey as the new upstairs. No foraging but I have seen them do cleansing flights and then return.

It's warm again and the grape hyacinth muscari has some pollen and nectar for the bees.

Some of the peppers and the hibiscus got an upgrade to bigger pots. 12 Red Marconi sweet peppers, 4 Jalapeno Big Guy Hybrid, and 2 of the Hawaiian chilis to fill a tray up. Hibiscus isn't looking great but it's a little warmer and has some nutrients in the new soil and doesn't have a silver birch seedling competing with it. It even has some flower buds I think. The over wintered verbena was pruned a little too.

Hawaiian chili peppers, Burpee big guy jalapeno, Red marconi sweet peppers, and 8 pots of replanted a week ago California Wonder sweet bell peppers. There's a full tray of 18 maximilian perennial sunflowers. The Detroit dark red beets are starting to come up too, some pea sprouts are visible along with most of the radish that are up, and most of the spinach and arugula up.

The bees are busy and still bringing in yellow pollen. Probably pussywillow, the elders claim to have picked them when they were young 'somewhere' here.

Some of the fruit trees yesterday. Apples, apricots, and a plum. Next post is a peach, the other plum, and the pears.

Afroman wins!
The rapper Afroman did not defame seven sheriff’s deputies or invade their privacy when he put out a series of catchy, flamboyantly insulting music videos about them after they raided his home in 2022, an Adams County, Ohio jury ruled on Wednesday.
