----- Well what has happened to Ol Buzz, the other day you mentioned he was grounded forever. For one little guy he can sure get into alot of trouble. But I am sure he will survive and propably be taking care of the whole family when he becomes president. Good luck to him. Louise

I've always read that you take a teaspoonful of locally grown honey at each meal...I would eat mine off a piece of buttered toast! I get my honey from folks that live in the country, all produced right there....Not much of a problem with allergies, no hay fever, thank God...so don't take it medicinally. Have heard it's dandy for skin scrapes, etc. at one time , back in old wars, it was used as a wound dressing...I take mine mixed in a pint of oolong tea, two heaping tsps...2 rounded tsp. of sugar, a kinda heaping tsp of coffee creamer, and some milk. Deee Wicious! As Buzz used to say...He had his own tea pot and special cup, and had his hot' tea' waitng for him when he was living here when he got out of bed....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:39:33 -0600 "samuels" <dwsbgs@centurytel.net> writes: > Called homeopathic; supposed small doses build immunity.

Called homeopathic; supposed small doses build immunity. One still has to count it and measure, sugar is sugar. I personally love and think it does me good , cinnamon and honey about a teaspoon each. A tiny bit in teas, larger amount on cereal or toast or bread. For me one teaspoon max for a day. Bud.

Almost all wild bees have died out. Without the meds provided by the beekeepers, they have simply died out. African bees seem to be immune to most of these things so far.

Great to hear sully; we are short of bees here. I blame crop spraying. Plus few hive owners who really do it right. We have one about twelve miles down the road. And a bunch of rotting hives where new owners evidentially are afraid of the bees but have a "truck garden" produce stand each summer. Oh how I wish I were in your yard but will abide with my cold and still snowy Missouri. February surprise is arriving, so we will have a few days of California temperatures. Really warm in the sun but very chilly in the shade and downright cold at night. Bud.

When Mom retired to a custom built Mobile Home, she planted all sorts of fruit trees, and had a big garden...For some reason every Fall someone stripped all the fruit off her pear tree....Every year. She cut it down. Police didn't ever do anything...I told her to put gall on the fruit...I don't see how people sleep at night when they rob poor old ladies like that...Looks like the fruit would make them sick...stick in their throats....I hope they get what they deserve in the end...Karma is known to chomp on your posterior....Jeannie T Our lovely blanket of snow is going the way of all snow...in spite of a few flakes that fell this morning...Hurrah ! Old Buzz is grounded forever..so didn't get to make a snowman... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Fri, 11 Feb 2011 11:02:06 -0500 "helenware" <helenware@comcast.net> writes: > Friends usually send me a beautiful box of citrus they pick from their trees-but a thief has struck again-last year at this time someone went at night and stripped all lemon trees, this week they took all oranges. ____________________________________________________________ Obama Urges Homeowners to Refinance If you owe under $729k you probably qualify for Obama's Refi Program http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4d55a4f9a2c691c547m06duc

At the most he had 15 hives. Normally lose one or two in the winter up here. Last year he had three left; and one of those was a nuke (just started). Only one hive made more honey than they needed for themselves. Every now and then some politician says "What has happened to the bees? We NEED bees!!"

Yes, Helen, it does work for a lot of people. Not all, but the pills don't work for all of us, either. It is a safe thing to try (be careful if you are diabetic) before going the pill route. I know our honey helps with the goldenrod season; both Sven and I used to be sneezing our heads off.

My husband is a beekeeper. We used to get 700 to 1000 lbs a year from his hives. Now with the mites and other diseases it is a full time job to even keep the colonies alive by medicating them. Last year we got 115 lbs. Be ware of grocery store honey. A lot of it comes from China where they leave the medication in when the bees are making honey, and all that pesticides (and they aren't fussy what they use) goes right into the honey sold in the store, and your tummy. SueBee is one great offender; and Sara Lee uses SueBee. Buy local honey from local hives when you can. It is safer.

I've always been interested in bees and be hives... maybe by the end of the month when Sherry retires and we get moved to the ranch, I'll try my hand at it... we've had one hive (in a tree) that we've had for years... it's close to the cattle water trough and the bees love that... lol :-)* On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:55 AM, Neysa <gramneysa@ct.metrocast.net> wrote: > My husband is a beekeeper.

Sully, You a very lucky to have fruit bearing trees, while we have all bare trees until at least May! My cousins who will be at their home in Arizona next week(they live in both Illinois and AZ.)usually send me a beautiful box of citrus they pick from their trees-but a thief has struck again-last year at this time someone went at night and stripped all lemon trees, this week they took all oranges. A neighbor always picks and puts ripe fruit in fridge for the cousins before they arrive-now no oranges! It is a gated community and there are several houses rented out so they suspect it may be one of them! It is an over 55 community also! I have never had a just picked avocado, just bought from the market-so never know how old they are--I love them! We are still very cold and have piles of dirty snow all over! Hoping for warmer weather! Take care. Helen

The morning newspaper says Coffeyville KS hit minus 22 degrees, and further south 24 miles, Nowata OK hit minus 31. All time low for Kansas was minus 40 degrees recorded in Lebanon on Feb. 13, 1905. juanita > When I woke up this morning it was -25 degrees. > I have frozen pipes, I've been under the house, changing out heaters, > etc. It has been a long day.

A couple of years ago some bees built a bee hive in back of a wood wall, at the very back of our yard, well it's really railroad ties, doesn't really hold much back, more for looks than it's strength. For some unforeseen reason they left, saw a huge bee hive in our tree, and the next morning they were gone, my husband pulled the railroad ties back, went in removed the honey cones, we put in lots of moth balls, about ten or twelve boxes, refilled the dirt, and put the railroad ties back. There were lots of ants in the ground around the hive, I thought maybe that's what made them leave, don't really know why ? But the bees came back last spring, we just stay away from that portion of the wall, I thought they might leave this last winter, but no they are still there and probably growing? We have lots of fruit trees around the yard, so they are good for that, have thousands of Avocados this year, the branches were loaded, and they were dropping from all the fruit. Still have so many, when my family comes, I always give them bags of Avocados and Lemons. I have many things to be Thankful for!!!!! LIFE IS GOOD Sully
