While I have managed to get my mouse guards on my hives, work and a dearth of daylight hours have left me less time than I’d like to get the bee yard in shape.  So while the rain and dark dominate, it’s time to take care of what I can indoors.  Cleaning and organizing my gear bag and fixing bothersome holes in my trusty gloves got checked off my list today–minor items, but ones that won’t  trip me up when I finally get back to the real work in the hives.
