Not exactly fun days now with the pain in my upper body but at least I've begun the process of trying to repair. I got to the garden early and had to move through quicker due to my appointment. My barn

Got the syrup made for the bees early and out to cool so I could cool the house more before closing up for the day. It was cooled by mid morning so got it in and they were quickly up lapping at it. Really

Hello come have a drink with me! The makeshift bridge that I crossed had several alternative waterways, it was a small forest and several creeks that flowed quite fast. I tried to dive in search of water

Hello hivers! Today I was in a garden, which is vast and has a variety of biodiversity in it, flower petals one of the beautiful views of life when I was there, butterflies are scattered on every petal

The days are just packed it seems. 5:30 am I was out the door again heading to town to pickup more grain. I got a text Thursday from the one brewery that he had neglected to let me know he was brewing

Again my day started bright and early yesterday with a trip to town to pickup a couple barrels of spent brewing grain. I had to take in the 6 empties I had from last week so they have enough barrels for

Well, that was a pretty killer day yesterday. I have never caught a "wild" swarm before, they have always been MY bees that have swarmed and then I catch them. Not yesterday though! In the morning

Super proud of my boy for riding 11 miles yesterday and climbing 2 big hills. I towed R in the POD and J rode his bike, only stopping to walk on the 2 big hills. We started from the farm this time and
