Vintage McCoy Vase

I am almost positive this is a McCoy vase. It belonged to my aunt and was given to me by her daughter. This vase has all the bells and whistles for a McCoy vase and is perfect for holding flowers or Christmas greenery.

The color of this vintage  vase is matte off white with flowers and leaves and two handles on the side. It's Lovely and the base is marked USA. The vase measures approximately 7 inches by 7 inches handle to handle.

Getting Ready to Close for the Winter!

Participated in a hands on field day at Beech Mountain Beekeeping on Saturday, August 17. During the class participants learned how to apply pesticides for mites, treatments for nosema, feeding and food supplements for winterizing bees.  

Getting ready to apply Apiguard, a natural non-toxic treatment, used to control varroa mites in honeybee colonies. 

Installed a mouse guard to prevent mice from entering the hive. The girls are busy on this autumn day bring in pollen from the goldenrod.

Added a weatherproof hive wrap to help protect the bees from the fall and winter elements.
