A Beautiful Day in South Texas - Beekeeping and Chicken Fires

Chicken fires? What is that all about? Today I posted this picture on Instagram showing my fire in the chicken run.

I shared this thought:

Who can be the first to post a link to an old Daddykirbs video that explains why I burn in the chicken run?

This was a fun way for me to spark (see what I did there?) a little interest in an older YouTube video. Here's the video explaining why I do the fires in the chicken run.

Later in the afternoon when it warmed up to about 80 degrees (ah I miss those days) I got to do a little beekeeping. My son Hive account@espenkirby helped me out by being my cameraman for this beekeeping episode on the Daddykirbs Farm.

I'm actually sitting right now editing that video and remembered "Oh no, I haven't done my steemit post for the day!". The edited video will be ready hopefully tomorrow. It's going to be a long one since I'm showing the first inspection of 2018 on all three hives.

Did all 3 hives make it through the winter? That's something you'll find out in a future steemit post and YouTube video :)

I will say this... it's nice working in a wide open apiary (bee yard)! Wow, I'm glad I made that move.
