Blackberry is this July, and the Cannabis influenced will be Sept honey harvest.
My honey supers are filled already I need another 4 supers to add on top of the hives, this is a booming flow of nectar this year. Did not expect this year to be so intense.

I don't know why I just thought of this, but I wonder what varied effects a bee keeper could get by adding some indica or sativa buds to the smoker, when working with the hives.

I imagine indica smoke might chill the bees out too much ha ha. I used to dabble with bee keeping some years back, out here in the tropics, but I quit the hobby after one day when I watched a man chased by a determined squad of attack bees, for a good 150 yards. I was really impressed that the man was able to keep up a dead sprint for that long of a distance. Of course these bees are Africanized, unlike the tamer cousins that you keep in your setup.

Not sure if it does anything or not, smoke sets off the fire response in bees which makes them load up on honey, this makes them settle down.
I've used trim, stem and leaf waste, smells great, I think it effects me more than the bees.
need more waste trim to experiment, it would be nice to be able to burn nugs in the smoker on every inspection round, an extreme buzz...

Africanized Bees are not up this far North. To cold.
Bee's do not attack for no reason, so always safe. In fact Bee's are extremely friendly, just very curious about you/me. Bees will immediately defend themselves if you swat at them, just ignore them, or push them away not swing your hand or panic.

Bee's handle sticky situations very well, ever get bee propolis on your fingers, stuff's worse than your sticky dabs. No worries about the bees getting stuck on the nugs. I'm betting they will gather the oils for making proplolis, I'm placing propolis screens in the hives in August after flowering starts.

Sometimes they just like to dive bomb for no reason I can figure except that one's just a pissy little girl.

Harvesting Blackberry Honey on the 4th July should have about +-120lbs of yummy Bee Barf.

what happened to the Peruvian Kotosh?

Bees and bud, man I wish I found this sooner. I've got some wild bees that took advantage of some empty bee boxes on my property. I just ordered my bee suit too.

You gotta get a lawyer bro. She can't just kick you out. You actually give up alot by leaving. In my state its actually pretty hard to kick someone out if they have mail coming to an address. Good luck.

I honestly don't give a fuck anymore, this came out of nowhere.
We're selling the props splitting the biz, and sharing parenting with the boys

errrrr. sad and pissed.
More op in AZ anyway.
I work all my nugs here anyway
and with legalization happening this year
It's all good.
The Rim Country produces awesome crops, and I still have time here for seed starts.
 
I'm in the rogue valley, and am going through bitter separation. I came here from Houston after ex wife did a number on my operation in Colorado, and Oregon is my new start. I have my son here, bro just know you are not alone. God Bless you brother.

Thanks yhan, nice to hear you got your boy.
I don't think I'll be that lucky.
if the Universe is punishing me for something...
I accept it.
 
I haven't gone through the custody yet, but his mother abandoned us, called police on my grow in Colorado and filed bullshit restraining orders for no reason when I was visiting Houston at my mums.I lost everything.....im a recovering addict and when I lost my grow and was back in the old neighborhood and severely saddened and I began using drugs again really hard for 6 mos like an idiot then stopped cold turkey and came to Oregon. Trust me bro, on top of it all I was gangstalked by anonymous after talking shit. bro there is hope at the end of the tunnel. I didn't believe it either trust me, but it will get better my friend. ill def pray for ya.
