A trip to Dadant!

What and excellent day - Susan, Pat and myself took in a road trip to Dadant in Hamilton IL (a 340 mile round trip), to get some new hives and equipment. We took in 3 states while we were at it, which we certainly weren't expecting to do. Iowa was a surprise, albeit brief!  But lunch there was great. Go to "Lods BBQ" in Keokuck!  Highly recommended!

Anyway, we have come away with what we need to set up our "Horizontal 2-Queen" management system.  It's all very exciting.  I even managed to assemble, and prime, top covers and bottom boards tonight!  Painting starts tomrrow.

All we have to do now is to put the management system into practice, which I suppose means we will also have to understand it better!!
