I have only seen one fox ever - came through early one morning right about sun rise. We’ve had trouble with opossums mostly. A few ground hogs, suspected coons, and loads of squirrels.

Hubby planted fig trees today, and started another garden patch. Right where I thought we wanted to build a basement with a storage shed on top. He said that it was the only place with enough sun - too many trees - ( I guess he didn’t want to take time to clear them away).

Disappointing update on the bees. Checking, I notice virtually no activity in one of the hives...the one whose package had three “attendants” in the queen cage with the queen. The queen was released, the three attendants were dead, and the colony gone!

I contacted the seller and he hemmed and hawed around, talking about nature and that crap. When I pointed out that this was the first package with attendants in the queen cage, he stopped communicating.

The other hive shows normal activity. We will only have one active hive this year, unless a swarm moves in.

We won’t do business with that seller, again!
