Scientists say that the next virus epidemic will be carried by mosquitoes.
My wife is a Beekeeper and is very prepared for the next epidemic.
When she goes shopping, she'll go alone.

Beekeeper!

That's cool!

Without bees we would probably go extinct really fast. But they (the bees) are dieing out and nobody cares over here. Ok, a few care, the rest are stupid.

Tell your wife Thanks for her Beekeeping from me!

Thank you Tom.

Your appreciating brought a big smile to my wife's face.
Anna has always loved animals of all sizes. I have referred to her in the past as Mr. Doolittle.

She is an apprentice beekeeper and spends a lot of time with her bees.
For the past several years, honey bee deaths have been occurring at unprecedented rates.
Large scale commercial beekeepers have suffered losses that are unsustainable long-term.
It’s become quite common for beekeepers to lose a third to a half of all of their colonies during a single winter.
And loss rates of up to 90% have been reported by some beekeepers.

When we walk to the lake we must take bread and peanuts to feed her ducks and squirrels, if we forget their food, we must return home and then return.

When I wake up in the morning, I never know what I'll find in our yard.

Great pictures Dan!

Tell her to keep up the great work with bees!

It's very alarming that so many bees are dieing. Something that I am worried about.

Beautiful photos of your slice of Utopia, Dan! Really nice picture of a great looking dog and wife, although, your dog seems to be a little distracted by a squirrel, or something.

Tell me about the small birds, was that a cleaning operation?

Great photos, OH...Thanks for sharing. Your wife has a most caring spirit for nature...and I'm sure, for you.

You're a lucky man! ::marine_salute::

Your wife is a special person Dan. Your wife and my wife would get along really good. Heck, my wife even likes snakes now...... Go figure that.
I was a beekeeper for years until the trachea mite killed all of my hives.
And on top of that, the killer bees are in our state now.

This is how we roll at Hardware store.

Hopefully not long though.

"Like desperados waiting for a train."

Had to take this in the mirror because my phone doesn't have a forward facing camera.

And then there's my grandson in Korea.

That’s what I’ve been saying all along, bandits. Haha

Hope your grandson is well, Jerry.

Doc B, I in my own opinion, think that Deadwood is the best tv show ever. Just my opinion.

Thank you Ike

Cheetah is easily "distracted," here he is when there is no leash restraining him from his natural hunting instinct. I hope he never looks at me like that.

As for the birds, I just posted a story with an explanation of Anna's Hummingbirds within the "Ornithology Bird Thread"

Sorry to hear about all your Bee Hives Mike

. I've read of chemicals to defeat trachea mites, but they contains some scary ingredients? She only has two hives. She checks them often for "unauthorized" guests.
I don't get along with snakes. As far as my wife and snakes

One of the advantages of a large family is that you have lots of kids and grandkids to see.
One of the disadvantages of a large family is you have lots of kids and grandkids to see and they live in other states!
Consequently we don't get to see them as often as we would like. I missed my grandson and his family last summer when they were here because I was in the hospital with hernia surgery. They live in California so we don't get down there very often but they did come up here last week to celebrate Brawly's birthday.

This is my great-grandson Brawly we had a birthday party for him Saturday at my daughter's house.
This is the first time I had held Brawly. I picked him up and he snuggled right down into my arms.
Melted this great granddad's heart!

You got to admit Dale. Grandkids and Great-Grandkids are the best. Cute little rascal.
