SOGGY, BOGGY, MUGGY,
Well, I don't have to tell anyone in central Oklahoma what the above words mean. If you live hear and you didn't know what the "ggy" words meant you do now!! As of today it has Rained in OKC,OK 20 DAYS IN A ROW! Mold is becoming a problem. By the way Chlorine will kill mold. Bee careful of the fumes. I was concerned about the small hive beetles this year because of the wetter weather but evidently they must have drowned. Haven't seen any yet!
As far as I know I haven't lost any hives to the flooding.
I HAVE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY "LIFE PRESERVERS" for my Honey Bees. One thing for sure we couldn't use the inflatable type those stingers would pop them for sure.
I met a serviceman in a store the other day he said he had been stationed in Mobile, Alabama and that our wet weather reminded him of there. Then I had a beekeeper call and order some gloves from Alabama the next day, so I asked him how the weather had been and he said they were in a Severe Drought!
Well may bee this rain isn't so bad after all!!!!! I can remember last years DROUGHT!!!!
OUR next meeting will bee JULY 24th, N.W. 10th & Portland, 7pm to 9pm. We will be looking for ya.
See ya there !!!!!!!
