Devide and Concour

Yes...I know I spelled the third word of the title wrong but, that's not why I'm writing. I've been offered to keep a hive of bees on a neighbors proporty and jsut today went to look for a good spot. Almost anywhere was perfect, and their property is filled with palmetto, which makes delicious table grade honey. Oh yeah, and did I mention it's 11 acres! However, there are a few unfortunate parts of this. One, I needed to get about $140.00 worth of equipment and I accidentally ordered the queen a week too early. Right now I'm calling around to see if I can get the one part I'm missing within the next two days. I've only got to days before it arives and I'm not ready! So, now I must crunch the numbers to see if it is possible to get a nuc box and bottom in time. So, if it all works out, I'm going to make a split on Saturday! Exiting, nerve-racking, and a little bit concerned. All these can describe the events planned for Saturday.

Nathan, I am continually impressed with your bee-keeping endeavors. Keep up the good work.
P.S. 11 acres!!! See if your neighbors would mind if we put up a small house, I mean bee hive of our own in their backyard.
