Mini strokes...

The duck situation is a little better, not much, but a little. They still start screaming at around 6:45am until about 8. My poor neighbor, I need to leave him a care package. The duck area is basically right next to his house, that was a great idea... Another brilliant idea was positioning the beehive on our backporch right next to the stairs that lead to the farm!! So every morning i have to haul ass past the bees by running down the steps. Ive had many near death experiences doing this. Especially now that the bees have multiplied like crazy. If i get outside early enough, before the bees wake up, I'm ok but anytime after that and I use the front door and just go around. We're thinking about building somekind of two panel blockade so solve this problem. Evidently if there is a wall or object in front of the hive they will fly straight up and out. So if I put one panel on the side next to the stairs and one directly infront of their entrance we may be able to coexist with bees living on the porch. But the tapping sound they make on the kitchen window at night when the lights are on isn't going anywhere im afraid. Who knew bees were attracted to lights like moths??
Oh yea, And I need some advice about getting rid of a nasty aphid problem, any ideas??? Aphids plus ants equals grumpy farmer... Just sayin.'
