Too bad about the eaten wolves. Congrats to your boy on that ptarmigan!
Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Just back from Fbks picking up two packages. They sure aren't getting any cheaper !
I hear ya. I got these two double queen packages last year $230. ea I belive. Shipping charge on top of that. None of the package suppliers will ship so I paid another person $160 to baby sit the packages for a week and get them to the cargo on time. Then run 20 miles each way in the water/slush to pick them up. Was no way I was throwing these hundred dollar bills to the wind. I think it can be done there using the same method I am. Let it get buried since you are so cold there. Open feed all they will take right after you rob honey until the bucket freezes. Treat for mites at the same time. Then a quilt box and giant sugar brick, and wrap . I treated my packages right after I installed them and when I checked in the fall I could not find a mite. So maybe I can go treatment free now.
