So Travis decided to surprise us a day early and he showed up Wednesday night instead of Thursday night. So when the kids woke Thursday morning to come get me out of bed, they had that priceless look on their face when they saw that Dad was there too! Sheldon keeps asking Travis when are we going to California? I think he is ready for our trip down!
Thankfully the guys found enough bees to fulfill the orders for the almonds this year. It was looking pretty scary at first, with so many of our bees that didn’t survive the winter months. Travis said it was due to Noxzema the bees had got. When that goes untreated the bees die. So now while the bees are pollinating the almonds, we work here in WA. Then in a few weeks we head down to CA to start pulling the bees out of the orchards and shipping them back home for the apricots, apples, and cherries. It’s getting into the busy season for us! Late nights and early mornings of bee moving! It seems the month of April is the month that is crazy busy with orders going in. I guess it’s a good thing that my due date is May 8th and not in April at all. Although Corbin was 2 weeks early…I guess we will see!!
