Michael Bush to speak in St. Louis.
And I’m going! Woot!! I’m so friggin’ excited!
For those who don’t know, Michael Bush is the guru of natural beekeeping. A hippie after my own heart. So Steve will be taking the day off of work to watch the kids while Charlie and I go have a listen.
Here’s the link to the registration site: BeeSpeakSTL.com
Here’s Michael Bush’s website: Bush Farms
And his super-incredible book (that I own, thank you very much!): The Practical Beekeeper
Anyone else going?
I’ve not mentioned our hives lately because, well, it’s winter. Bees are really boring in the winter. But both hives are still there and alive. We’ve had a few warm-enough days over the past month or so when I could have dug around in there a bit to have a quick look-see but this flu has taken the oomph right out of me. At least I’ve moseyed over there to bang on the box a couple of times and, yep, they’re still there. We’ll be ordering two new packages this year and spring (the busy season!) will be here before we know it!
I really should go, he’s a great speaker! I graduated from UMSL and it’s only 25 minutes north of where I live. It’ll be a great venue!
Oh, you should go then! Look for the broad with the long, crazy hair and wearing flip flops, accompanied by a 12 year old boy — and say hi to us!
