Another first for me ❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️

I witnessed a virgin queen emerging. The more experience I get in this beautiful world of beekeeping, the more I love it!

I’ll check back to this colony in a week to see if she’s mated and started laying yet.

After watching far too many YouTube videos, and getting far too many versions of how the Demaree method is done, I decided to just go for it!

The two strongest hives in the bee yard were subjected to the vertical split and I’m crossing my fingers that this will be a positive influence on the amount of honey they produce this year.

This method requires weekly inspections and a little extra attention being paid to the colony but I think it’ll be worth it. 🐝🐝🐝

Fingers crossed 🤞

With all the rain we’ve been getting, the worms are out and the chickens are feasting!

Mama hen brought her babies out to forage for the first time today and man are they ever cute!!

Learning a new skill today 🚜🚜🚜

A HUGE thank you to my neighbors/friends/tractor owners for teaching me how to operate their tractor and letting me borrow it to work some land. Today was a test run so I could become familiar with the machine but it was too wet to do the actual work. Hopefully the land will dry out enough for me to rake, aerate, and grate it soon so I can plant some pasture grasses.

I’m so lucky to have such great people in my life who support what I love to do! 💚💚💚
