"I've Been Meaning To Ask You."
...
Today is officially Ask A Nosy Question Day!
Have we talked about something on the blog, that left you wishing for more information?
Are you curious about the status of Robb's recovery, the house renovation, or what's going on at the theater? Wondering what we've murdered in the garden recently, or how the feral cats are doing?
Do you have a pressing question about honeybee biology?
Here's your opportunity to emerge from blog-lurkerdom! Ask away!

I'm a Photoshop Neanderthal. I know how to do about twenty things, and I do them over and over again. I feel that when I'm editing photos, I'm using a club to do the work that should require a scalpel.
The blog doesn't ever seem to mention the sinkful of dishes, or the hours, we spend do apparently nothing at all.
I'm a famously Unreliable Narrator.

Also, how is Robb's recovery coming along? Hope all is well with you and Robb!
How is the neighbor's truck? And did Robb's bike sustain any damage, other than the plastic gear-guard?
I promised that recipe to a friend, anyway.
I just think it's amazing we get to watch one another's journeys unfold this way. Whatever you feel inspired to share, Lisa, I'm sure I'll enjoy reading it.
(Although I do expect updates on the poor hive, and I'd never say no to more cats -- even feral ones. ;)
Anyway, thanks for sharing your blog. It makes for great reading.

In our experience so far, our bees don't bother anybody. They go pretty far afield to forage and never descend, en masse, on any one spot.
The only neighbor we have who can see a hive in our yard has a beekeeper dad and doesn't see at all nervous.
Most fears surrounding bees seem to be based on a confusion between yellow jackets, which are aggressive, and honey bees, which generally aren't. There are also "killer" or Africanized honey bees but they seem to have stopped their northward advance a few hundred miles south of us. Even our mild winters are too cold for them.
Every beginning beekeeping book will tell you to look up your local laws and discuss your plans with/educate your neighbors before getting bees. Good advice.
What ever happened to the miniature sets? They were intrigung but will be ever get to see them in something finished?
Did you skip the kite festival or are you holding out on us?
My husband has recently started chemo and one of the main side effects is neuropathy...they are trying to minimize the levels and say that in many cases the nerves will heal themselves eventually. It made me think of Robb and hope the same is true for him.
And of course the thing I've been craving for weeks is this Hungarian sweet paprika paste in a tube which is amazing on bread or crackers or in a soup. I can't remember if I last bought it in Maryland or Texas or Hungary.
• My toes: I can move them a little bit better. They move on their own accord a little bit less often. I can feel them a little bit better; that feeling is no longer unpleasant.
For a while the toes were just symbolic for us: if I could wiggle them a little it meant there was hope. On a practical level, toe wiggling means very little if those toes can't support any weight while you walk.
Sorry to hear about the neuropathy. There really is a good chance the nerves will heal.
