I like to keep track of our bee maintenance, so I use this blog to do it. We've fed several times, the last was on Thursday, October 10th before we left for our granddaughter's wedding the next day. We plan to feed them again this week. I walked by the hives yesterday and there was lots of activity at both hives. When we fed them on Thursday there were lots of black hive beetles caught in the swiffer sheets. We'll need to put more in next feeding. Hopefully the bees will do well over the winter. We have the patrons of beekeepers on it. Whenever I bless our beautiful property with holy water, I never miss the bee yard.

Remembering my Dad...
Remembering My Dad with Gratitude
Yesterday was my dad's birthday. He was born in 2017, the first of five children born to Raymond Michael Schneider and Marie Zurlinden Schneider in Cleveland, Ohio. His dad, my grandfather, was an organist who played in vaudeville for the silent movies and later was organist at St. James Catholic Church in Lakewood where his men and boys' choirs became well known. He taught his own children to play and Daddy played the organ later for the Catholic community at the Naval Academy when he was student there and for St. Augustine's in Elkridge, MD after he retired.
In 2009 my brother, Ray Jr. (now deceased), posted this on his blog:
Raymond John Schneider — Dad
Ray's first ship was USS DETROIT, which was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. DETROIT subsequently transported the Philippine Government's gold and silver monetary reserve, which had been removed from Corregidor by submarine, from Honolulu to San Francisco.
