Some people manage their #honeybees to try to prevent swarming. Makes sense because half or more of a hive can leave in a swarm. But then they miss out on the fun of catching them. (1/5)

In a field hit hard by white mold. Plot to the right rated a 5 on a 1-9 scale. The left one got a 9. If you had a field planted with the variety to the right, you might think “wow, I’ve got a lot of disease” yet you are getting protection compared to a susceptible line.

Good afternoon to everyone except the parking attendants at #FPS23 who stacked vehicles 3 deep. Thanks to the random guy who helped me execute at 30-point turn to make it out.

I know I’m not the only one who noticed the widespread yellow patches in low areas of soybean fields after we started getting rain again at the end of June. They seem to be recovering. I’m still waiting on disease results from our diagnostic lab. What have others learned?
