Beginning Blogging

Sometimes I wonder...anyway...here is my attempt at blogging. A bit of a journey into my "off work" life here at home...
Growing dahlias and beekeeping, both in a non-toxic manner I do hope. The dahlias I pretty much have figured out...I will not say for certain I have them figured out, as nature can always throw a curve ball. The bees however, well, they are challenging to the mind...Unfortunately, bees have it much harder now. Why? One can only speculate as there seems to be many factors involved. I have learned about the dreaded varroa mite. There are various theories as to how to control and prevent this parasite...I will attempt to "regress" my new bees. It will be a slow process for me I am sure of that...I am going to try to crate a step-by-step for other newbees...a "keep it simple: kinda way...Enjoy the buzz...
