Yeah, I hear you. Some call it brave, some call it batsh*tcrazy. I am not a fan of dealing with them too much, we kind of accept each other. Always get that funny gut feeling when I hear them ssssuuuuuummmmm up a storm in their hive. I am also not the most educated or gentle beek. I am still...
Awww. :( I don't know about sweet potatoes but I usually just buys ome at the store, leave them in the house to create offshoots and then I start to plant them. I haven't planted in 2 years and still keep having taters come up in my garden. Maybe that will work for you?
That is so sad to hear. We all had bullies in school but these days with social media and all, it has taken a turn for the worst. I hope your kids will make it through that time ok.
You guys crack me up. Yes, I will look into a crockpot and liner with my next paycheck- that is if they dont forget to pay me again.
I was up until 10:30pm last night filtering honey. There is more to do today and I need to get cheese cloth to get the smallest particles out. I have about 3...
Thank you so much for your kind words Trim :hugs It is indeed a sad thing. It is even sadder how much honey the left me, as if to leave a memorial. I spent 5hrs today making sure I harvested asmuch honey as possible, making all of their work count, while figuring out what happened. I spoke with...
Thanks Deb. My beek is saying the same thing. He had the exact same problem, tons of honey left behind, no brood, colony failure. Oh well, I am processing the honey now. I already am approaching 2gallons and still have much further to go. Thanks my dear little beesies, you will be missed :hit
Sigh...death has come to our farm today...I lost my honey bees over the winter. Had a funny feeling my hive was too big. Bless their little hearts though, they left me about 80lbs of honey before they died, so I am currently taking the hives apart and harvesting the honey as best as possible...
I hear you all. Working on bringing up the motivation and have received plenty of cookbooks over the years from people as helpful as you are. I need to get to a point where I can visualize the finished product because it seems every time I cook, it ends in misery and food doesnt taste the way I...
Hey Deb,
I normally keep my chickens under a steady heat lamp for about 5 weeks. After that I either turn it off during the day (if it is warm enough) or keep them in big enough groups so that they can keep each other warm. If they get too cold they will let you know quickly.
