Spring storms… gotta love ’em… when this leaves, the grass will shoot up! Before this hit, I spent some time with my bees, removing more of the cross combing. While some beekeepers have suggested I continue into the depths of the hive to see if my queen is laying… I still haven’t made it that…

Easy Enough
I helped Brandon move his cows this afternoon. It wasn’t much of a move, so we did it with a pickup (loaded with their breakfast), my mini truck, and by foot! The calves were ZIPPY… enjoying the open space and new country! Brandon and his brother-in-law, B., walk behind the cows down the highway. And,…

Top Bar Hive Bee Barn
The Experiment Begins! An old wooden granary is cleaned out to become my top bar hive Bee Barn. Modifications were made. My front door gets a built in screen door (as soon as I get to town to buy more screen!). It is simply a door within a door… to let more air in during…
