Questions and Answers – June 2013 Edition

Posted on June 9, 2013

I’m suffering from hay fever… Moving slow and pitifully… so if I don’t answer your question well enough, ask again, maybe next time I’ll feel up to it more!  Let’s get going! First of all, one of my frequent readers has started her own blog!  She’s just getting it up and going, but go give…

Weekend Started

Posted on May 24, 2013

Busy day! I was a tad bit early to the show… so I took some time for wildflower photography… Then I helped begin the AI process… which consists of a shot of Lutalyse, which is a prostaglandin.  It synchronizes estrus, in other words, all our heifers should come into heat in the next few days……

Amazing Piece

Posted on May 17, 2013

Seems like I need to start these entries a little earlier… I’ve been falling asleep and not feeling like waking up enough to write!  That’s typical springtime… the rush is on to clean, garden, farm, ride, move cattle, irrigate and plant.  Where we were in snow just a few weeks ago, the grass has now…

Sad Country Song

Posted on May 12, 2013

Happy Mother’s Day!  I really meant to drag out an old photo of me and my mom… and just realized that as I sat down here to type away.  That’s typical.  Seems like I was late more than once with her Mother’s Day present!  So, Mom, here’s a SALUTE to you… I miss you daily!…

Wrecks

Posted on May 11, 2013

1.  First Branding is done.  We JUST had enough people, short some of our regulars… but had enough food for more!  We had great leftovers for supper! 2.  While kicking the cows and calves over The Big Grey Ridge, they had a wreck, which means they’ll be riding again tomorrow, trying to straighten out cows…

Until Tomorrow

Posted on May 9, 2013

Yesterday, I got a call as I was heading for work… The Bee Guy was going to be in Ten Sleep and would I like more bees?  You bet!  So I threw in my bee suit and gloves… and waited impatiently for his call.  Finally it came! They were splitting hives… taking out some of…

Drama. Queen.

Posted on April 19, 2013

Today warmed up some, the best we’ve had, so I decided to transfer the bees to my top bar hive. I lifted the feeder. No movement. I lifted the lid. No movement. Crud. I lifted off the box, and there were my bees, in a pile.  An unmoving pile. It looked like they had been…

Bee Adventurous – Part Two

Posted on April 16, 2013May 8, 2013

My top bar hive is an unusual style.  Most bee hives today are the Langstroth hive, boxes on boxes that you’ve probably seen along the roadway.  They are perfect for producing a great quantity of honey while pollinating large acreages. I didn’t need that. I wanted a small amount of honey for myself, maybe some…

Too Exciting

Posted on April 15, 2013

It’s here!  It’s here! It’s awesome. My top bar hive arrived today and I’m just giddy!  I can give you a video tour tomorrow… I’ve decided to wait to transfer them until the end of the week.  It has been cold and blustery and snowing on occasion and even though the top bar might be…

What Will Bee…

Posted on April 13, 2013

Well. The Adventure began today… my bees arrived! I’m babysitting Jaxon this weekend, so I had a helper on my run to town, but he slept through most of my visit and pickup at Bryant Honey!  These guys sold me my Carniolan bees and some syrup for food.  Plus, they helped with my biggest problem……
