Foundation

I heard back from Rossman. They said that their kits include Plasticell foundation, but they would substitute beeswax at no extra charge. I don't mean to start World War III by saying this, but I think I'm going to go with the Plasticell. From what I've heard, of the types of plastic foundation out there, Plasticell seems to be the most well accepted, and easily re-useable (as opposed to the flat-sheet Duragilt). I'm also considering a nuc just to keep handy in case I may need it sometime during the season. Even though I know I probably won't need it in my first year, I also know that it can never hurt to have one around, and that I'll need it eventually anyway.

This week's been so stressful, I can't wait until the weekend. I haven't gotten much sleep, I've been working overtime every day this week, and I'm just beat. I spent much of last night in the hospital with my partner, Steven, who had a terrible migraine, and we didn't get home until about 3:30am. I was so tired this morning, I slept right through my alarm, and was an hour late for work. Fortunately, tomorrow is Friday, and then it's the weekend, so it's almost over :)

On the brighter side, I found a pry-bar at my local Ace Hardware which is exactly the same as most hive tools out there, is several dollars less (not to mention no shipping), and is now mine :) I also found a really nice tool box that I'd like to get, from Brushy Mountain.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a splendid week, please stay tuned for updates!
