Very good advice! Last summer I worked at computer for hours listing our collections, tools, etc. and approx. worth at that time in case anything happened to us. My DH has collected model cars for years so we gave him name of trusted relative to advise him on value. (This person has much larger collection & could afford to buy them all. Made detailed list of things each kid loved & had been promised. (One child had always been fascinated with bookkeeping ledgers used in my parents business in the early 40's- the others cared nothing about them.) Also listed things we wanted dear friends to have...like fabric for a quilter, craft supplies to another, etc. Attorney said his fee would run higher if we listed all in our Will, but if I typed them all he would sipmly add the list as a codicil to the Will. I was so determined to finish it all my DG thought I was ill or something. It was simply something I felt compelled to do, and am so glad it's done! Suzi

PAM, it sounds as though it is time to give your Diary Secretary the elbow. Wait until you reach my age and have to write everything down and will beable to remember what you received for Christmas 1955 better than what you just had for lunch! Sheri I hope the cargo plane has at last trundled over the Atlantic with your mountain of secondhand books. It must be so handy having that air-strip behind your backyard. Mary, I think you heard the Welsh harp being played. We only live about ten miles from the border and, as you know, the Celts like to spend their spare time, especially when fuelled by 27 pints of Brains beer, making music and singing. I was just re-reading Puck's farewell speech from Midsummer Night's Dream and realise how well Shakespeare was able to foretell our virtual world "If we shadows have offended Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme No more yielding but a dream."

How close to my garden to put my hives?
Q
Comments (2)
Anywhere on your lot is fine and they'll find the garden. Its more important to place hives where they are easy to access, water is nearby, but not too close to areas that people or pets frequent. I wouldn't put a hive directly in a garden since you're in the garden all the time. Keep in mind the bee flight path funnels out from the hive entrance. They don't generally fly around the back of the hive.
