Stockpile

Posted on June 27, 2014

Cool and rainy and a week later… it was time to check on my bees! My Golden Hive has slowed down for the most part, although they’ve started replacing comb from the one I stole with the queen cells.  There seems to be more drones and remember the comb with the two queen cells on…

Learning Adventure

Posted on June 23, 2014

Before I left for the Garden Walk, I knew I needed to check on my bees.  Thursday was a cool morning… perfect! I was going to check my Golden Hive, as last time, Mesopotamia had the check up.  Slow and steady, I pried each bar from the other, still amazed at the efficiency of propolis…

Live and Learn

Posted on May 20, 2014

I had a friend stop by yesterday.  He once had 100 bee hives when he lived back east and he was anxious to see my top bar hive.  He had never seen one, so we jumped in the car and went for a visit.  He walked into my bee barn with no protection, no gloves,…

Busy Season

Posted on April 24, 2014

If you couldn’t tell… we’ve been busy around here. We’ve been kicking cows out into our badlands pasture.  It is a LONG walk for little bitty baby calves, and for my horse and my dog and for ME!  (Don’t mind that my camera didn’t open all the way… I do believe the poor thing is…

Pop Can Heater

Posted on April 14, 2014

I don’t know how I stumble across these things… but I’ve found a couple of great ideas that I thought I’d try on my Bee Barn.  It seems to be cool in there, with no direct sun, the bees aren’t as active as they were in my open shed I had them in, so I…

Just Waitin’

Posted on April 13, 2014

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…

Top Bar Hive Bee Barn

Posted on April 2, 2014

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…

Sweet Beauty

Posted on March 27, 2014

Victoria gave me this idea weeks ago… back when I posted my “Mono-comb” photo.  I couldn’t just pick one or two photos more photos to share though, so I made you a video. Enjoy some sweet beauty! Sweet Beauty from Carol Greet on Vimeo. **** Please notice:  BEES now have their own category tab at…

Better Than This

Posted on March 25, 2014

Now THIS is what spring should be like!  What a nice day!  I still wasn’t brave enough to modify the cross combing on my top bar bee hive some more, but I did get a few things cleaned up at my Bee Barn, with Vernon’s strong muscles to help! I need a coon-proof screen door…

Top Bar Hive Bee Barn

Posted on March 23, 2014

I managed to clean out my future Top Bar Hive Bee Barn (thanks, Susan, for coming up with the appropriate name!… though “boudoir” ran a close second!) at least partially this morning.  The heavy stuff is going to have to wait til I get someone to help me lift… The rims, I was hoping, would…
