We have a couple days of warm weather, and then we have some that are cold. The nights in Wisconsin are colder, and like anything else in life, cycles take place. I began to think about when I was a Wisconsin bee keeper not too long ago, how much I enjoyed it, and how it was very similar to Waukesha County Real Estate at times. If they have not done it by now a lot of Wisconsin Bee farmers will go out to their
colonies , or have went out to their colonies, and after they clean the colonies, put a large sugar cake in the colony, and put a mite strip in there to protect to the colony, they will wrap the protection around the colony so the bees can get ready for Spring. The Queen will be checked to see how she is doing, the drones and workers as well. The hives with be checked for any pests or animals that may have tried to get at them, and in short, the colony will be secured until April when the colony will be opened for the bees to start their active plans. One can never understand the feeling that comes with bee keeping. Nature really took some time out and perfected the ritual. The sad thing is bees are vanishing at an alarming rate and when they are gone, there is a good chance the earth as we know it will be totally different.
Bees will go out up to seven miles and more to find flowers and flora to pollinate. In return there is nectar.
I could get into the bad rap Honey bees get being put into the same categories as other bees, wasps, and hornets get classified into.That would be a whole post and it
would be sad that by the time I got done you would realize how really important Honey bees play a part of life daily on earth. Further, man is doing his best to destroy them as well, and may not even know it. Awfully sad. A little trivia; the only food known to man that will never spoil, even in respect to age, is honey. Between cell phone signals, pesticides, magnetic polarities, and more factors, bees are diminishing in large numbers. Can you imagine a day when nothing, or very little is pollinated? I was a Wisconsin farmer and I can tell you that will be a sad day.
allows a person to see the organized skills paying off in their business, making sure the New Years goals are written, and ones game plan is
exercised each day with consistency. Running my real estate business is really not that different from when I was a Bee keeper. The important thing that I always want to remain focused on is having an agenda. Soon I will be a part time farmer, and a bee keep again, and it will all be an adjustment; an adjustment that I will always welcome like the new business day that greets me everyday no matter where I am enjoying it. In the Waukesha County Real Estate market it's all productivity.
Wishing you a productive day, and see you at closing!

Thanks for the reblog; what I find amazing is the inside of that colony will maintain a temperature of 85% even when it is below zero out. Largely due to wing vibration and packing of the bees around the Queen's area.
