Hi all, for some unknown reason, my one bee colony split and swarmed this afternoon. most luckily, we watched it happen and were able to catch the swarm in a nearby tree. quite the adventure, i must say! the hive i bought from someone last year unfortunately proves not suitable, hence i am looking for a solid top bar hive (including bars and lid that fit properly) at a decent price, ideally to be picked up tomorrow in or near santa fe. anyone has a hive for sale? or other ideas as how best to deal with this situation? thank you!! griet -

Voyce Durling-Jones Obituary
by Kate Whealen 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

> VOYCE DURLING-JONES > Voyce Durling-Jones, a native of New Orleans and longtime resident of Santa Fe, died on June 3rd at the age of 87. A dedicated guardian and keeper of bees, Voyce Sensei is survived by four cherished children, seven adored grandchildren, two dear siblings, and a vast community of beloved friends and family, spanning the globe from Santa Fe to Saddle Lake, Monrovia to Sendai. In addition to being an artist, Voyce Sensei was the founder of the Hoshindo Healing Arts Institute in Santa Fe, the Hoshindo Society of the Americas and non-pofit, The Bee Corps. Before moving to Santa Fe in 2002, she was Honorary Consul General of Liberia in New Orleans for over twenty years and created The Grief Path, after the death of her son Sean in 1985. Voyce Sensei was an ardent supporter of the arts and environmental and social justice causes, including protecting indigenous sacred sites. The last thirty years of her life were devoted to the practice and teaching of Hoshindo Japanese Meridian Apitherapy. The first Westerner to be certified as a Hoshindo practitioner in Japan, Voyce Sensei brought this ancient healing art to the U.S. in 1995. As a Hoshindo Master, she trained twenty Hoshindo practitioners in the Americas and Europe. Her life's work was healing those who had lost the hope of good health, using the medicines of the honeybee. There are no words to describe the profundity of this loss to those who hold her dear. Voyce Sensei's life will be celebrated at memorials in Santa Fe and New Orleans. It was her wish that any gifts made in her honor be given to two organizations she considered very important to preserving the environment and protecting the bees: Praising Earth (https://praisingearth.org/sustainers <https://praisingearth.org/sustainers>) and Farmer's Footprint (https://farmersfootprint.us/give <https://farmersfootprint.us/give>). > > > [New Mexican 6-11-22]

hive removal in Mora, NM
by Betsy Bloch 12 Jun '22

12 Jun '22

Dear Beekeepers, I am looking for someone to remove a hive in a stone wall of an old grist mill. The hive is accessed from the outside by the busy bees. We are currently restoring the mill and the bees would be difficult for the stone masons to work around. Meg Mcgee, who is a beekeeper, is the neighbor to the west of the MIll and she did an inspection this morning. She said the comb color was pretty dark which could mean they've been there awhile or a new swarm moved into an old home. Also she thinks it is not a large hive considering where it is. My name is Betsy Bloch and part of a foundation that is restoring the Mill. If you know of someone who could help with this, please let me know at your earliest convenience at bdbloch(a)gmail.com or 505-220-1845 Thanks for your help with this., Betsy Bloch

Hello fellow beekeepers, I had an infestation of varroa that I treated with Hopguard strips. I have extra strips left over and unfortunately they don’t have a long shelf life. If anyone is interested in purchasing some of the strips for treatment please let me know. Best, Anna Sent from my iPhone
