No Depopulation This Year.....

Thom,
Harry came to visit and we got to talking and here is our winter plan for you:
When you are done shaking your bees and have your equipment put away, we are going to put 12 hives RIGHT BACK IN THEIR PLACE!
Thinking about shaking them also?
Well if we did our math correctly, you will have to shake out 12 hives 1167 times. HA HA HA
Which means you'll end up with bees in the spring any way you look at it.
So how do you like those little apples, Hmmm??? Troubleswitch? ;D

Twelve hives eh? well you are welcome to bring them up once I have all chemical free hives put away for the winter. Then what I'll do is medicate your bees with all that poisonus crap you guys put in your hives then next spring when they recover from the formic/cumofoss/fluvalinate/sugar easter/fumagilin/ teramycin and blue shop towel treatments, I'll shake them into my chemical free hives and burn your boxes and frames in Umatilla.

Norm, I'll bring some chemical free honey to the conference so you'll know what real honey tasts like.

Wow! Thanks Rbees! That's the first time someone has been on my side on this topic. Harry has bees supportive as well, but he is Normie's nephew.
