After a vicious drought in 2012, we are currently flirting with a return to serious flooding. The past four days have all involved precipitation, and there is a good chance of more rain for the next few days too. Strong storms are moving across the southern tier of the state tonight too. Our home location of Lynnville is not in any danger of flooding, but the river bottom near the actual town and one of our bee yards is rather wet. Alex took these pictures very recently: I am glad we don't have any hives sitting next to a levee anymore. We had to be on high-alert for several years in a row when the waters rose near the town of Pella, but we eventually moved them out after making some wet memories in the world of bee-rescue.
