  • I've had fun collecting these little books lately. I love the drawings and brief information on the subject. It's a great way to show Brice information and teach him how to research and learn. The other day I told him to go in the woods and bring me back treasure, but don't bring me poison ivy - so of course we had to look it up so he could see what the plant looked like.
  • Second brood box added today. We had such a full nuc we had to add another box right away. Crazy busy bees!
  • My eight little ducky shadows. They must be where ever I am and if they can't get to me, Lemon, the Pekin, does her obnoxiously loud quack until I come to her. Mamma duck Greta is always closest to my side. I think all the bonding we did last summer when she was sitting on her eggs left an impression. #charlotteandtheducklings
  • She is such a funny cat! #kittygeorgette #lucyandherducklings #charlotteandtheducklings
  • I think our bees are trying to tell us something: S.O.S., add another brood box, we're too full! The queen was out of her cage but it was so stinkin' full we couldn't find her. We're going to play it safe and add a second brood box tomorrow.
  • Water drops for @peppiflo quilt #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting #longarmquilting
  • We moved the bees and their frames from the nuc box to the brood box this morning. We had a very full nuc of 5 loaded frames with the other empty fames having a wax start so we are hopeful we'll have honey this year. Our season had a late start thanks to all the rain, so I think we are getting going at a great time. I'm most excited about the pollenating, but honey is a wonderful bonus, too. . We went out at 6a, but the bees were already active for the day, however, no smoker was needed. I'm not the beesuit kind of keeper, I just wore a thick windbreaker, leather gloves and a bucket hat with a soft veil material. Worked perfect. Will I get stung at some point, probably, but I'll live. . My husband made us that awesome bench to hold our hive. The base fits into notches on the bench frame, so it's not shifting a bit (not that it would because it's so heavy, but he was worried about it). He added the cross slats so we had a nice stable surface to set our tools or super box on. I love the design. It's so handy having a handy husband. . #bees #beekeeping
  • Lucy is picking on the ducklings today, so much so we might have to seperate her until they are outside during the day. She's been following us around the yard today. She was following me...saw Aaron...turned off from me, making a beeline for him. Traitor. #lucyandhermagpies #charlotteandtheducklings #chinesegoose
