I guess in reality I should have called this column…Very Little About Bees. The reasoning is that this is exactly what I know about them…little to nothing.
As you guys know, we had a beekeeper, Sherry, put out 54 hives here on our place. Sherry, and her Mother Melva, have been just a wealth of information for me on the subject of bees. The problem though, is I can’t absorb it fast enough.
Man, they’re out working the bees and just “laying it on me,” information wise, and I get frustrated because I lose so much of the info they’re supplying me with. I’ll get it though…slow but sure.
Quickly, I have to thank GC in South Carolina. GC has been SO helpful as well, supplying me with websites, links for beekeeping supplies, even calling me and offering to come down and help, if needed!
Thanks GC, everything you have and are doing is such a help, and appreciated!
Melva, and Sherry mailed me a couple of Beekeeping catalogs, as well as a Farm and Rancher publication that had an article about CCD, or colony collapse disorder.
This we’ll discuss at a later time, after I’ve looked at the info on this subject, and get to where I understand it better.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
