I raised mine just on pasture, best beef i ever ate.You don't need any grains.You will save allot if you butcher and wrap yourself as i do. Make sure you have an energy efficent freezer...! Don't really know how cost effective buying a half is, never done it. But it has to be allot more than...

Remember, the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.No offense to those living in the southwest or wanting to, but you couldn't pay me enough to live there..What wrong with Maine..? The southwest is always struggling for water, the essence of ALL life. Maine has abundant...

We don't produce like we use to..America was a leading producer of manufactured goods.Thats what made this country great.Unions are good for workers, but have taken a toll on buisnesses, causing them to lose the leading edge.We can't compete with cheaper labor in distant lands.So now we are a...

I agree with your last post Boogity, but as mentioned, it isn't going to happen..! We'd never get enough people onboard for those heavy changes...Personally, i don't see much changing for the better with so many going in so many different directions.Were a big fat welfare/freebee magnet, ready...

Looks like the deficit issue is getting closer to going no where.Maybe a default would be a good thing in the long term.It may be needed to force W__hington DC to get it together.It may come at a high price in the way of our currency/bond ratings of the USA, and hurt people counting on the...

The area i live in has had four hives, all from different locations stolen this past year. Some pro pollinators who have had larger numbers of honeybee hives disappear have been planting tracking devices in the hives.

Honeybees have a three mile radis that they work, foraging for pollen , water and nector from their hive. NYC is desperate for money, that fined honeybee owner was the victims of poor economic times and ignorance... It is a good idea to provide water for your honeybees, but don't be surprised...

Sunsaver, being as close to total self suffciance as you are,don't you still need money to pay property taxes...? Thats a big hit for myself.

Never knew about the cinnamon, interesting, thanks for the tip. If the bees aren't affected,why not on inner cover?, sounds good to me.A strong hive will keep ants in check,but they still are annoying pest.Did you mean using small twigs to wedge under inner cover for ventaltion..? Not sure how...

sounds like a ball, but to far for this new englander..! By the way Quail_Antwerp , whats the latest on your honeybees..? PM me if you want, so as not to hijack, i didn't hear from you on the other thread, so was wondering...

When i first started beeking, my first bees came with an entrance feeder....disaster...! That entrance feeder invited yellow jackets, flys, wasp,ants,robbing, they all came.I've read on other threads here the merrits of the Imrie shime,baggie ziplock feeding and placing the baggies directly on...

No....i need more land to grow and produce. I live in an area where zombies will rule and take over.I seek an affordable escape..!

I can't tell you what to expect to pay, but i sure got a good laugh out of your cow trying to hump the horse...!!

Nice pics...:) I know that feeling of disappointment..! Filling a deep, and getting a good start on a 2nd deep can be a tall order,depending on where you are,weather conditions and flows.This time of the year alot of places are getting into a dearth, some places are doing well. If your area is...

Sunsaver, be careful buying used honeybee equipment, most experienced beeks will advise against it. The practice of buying used hive bodies, supers is known for spreading honeybee disease and pest.IMO, you'd be better off and safer shopping around for a good deal on new hive components.Buying...

Thanks Quail_Antwerp, i was only trying to be helpful.. Honeybees will find the smallest of spaces to get to you and sting. I would be sure to put rubber bands or something elastic at the bottom of the pant legs, so they can not crawl your pant legs, and they will if they can..! I would wear a...

Thanks Dawn for the link..:) Rhoda_bruce i had my benedryl handy, but didn't need it.I keep the liquid one handy as i sometimes have a bad reaction from eating store bought beef.At the time i caught those 40 stings i was fully suited up.It was a hot day, and i was only wearing shorts under my...
