I also highly suggest that you get those boxes built asap. You do not want surprises and, if they are not painted, you want to paint them as early as you can. Also, only paint the outside (unless you have a local bee club, then acquire some propolis, then you can paint the inside with that)
MY friend, first and foremost, Welcome Back! I've wondered about you and that family of yours quite often.

A question has been asked after your above post about the decline of bees.

I'm just an old redneck country boy who has very little knowledge of bees but I've read that there is a theory that the decline is due to pesticides and particularly to those used by non licensed applicators (home owners).

Any Input?

Again Good to hear from you!
