August 13: Picked up my "Woodstock Hive" (3rd hive, Kirk Webster bees) from Sam at the Germantown CSA. So named to commemorate where I was 40 years ago. I will surround this hive, as I do with all of my hives, with Peace, Love and Flowers. These bees are very gentle and sweet and feel much different from the southern and Pa bees. It will be interesting to see if each hive keeps their distinct personality or whether they all will evolve into "Vly Bee" temperment based on their new geographic location. I added 2 top bars as the Japanese knotweed is starting to bloom and I know how fast they can fill a bar. Foraging is plentiful in Schoharie County.......Blessed bee.
