Did you know when cows lick each other, it's not only for cleanliness it's also to show affection and build strong friendships🥰

Let's go check out the bees tonight shall we🐝
On hot evenings you might find them "bearding"
🐝 Bearding is bees accumulating at the front of the hive, in a beard-like shape.
🐝 Bees beard to cool down the hive and reduce humidity levels.
They essentially move some bees outside to reduce the heat load and increase ventilation, allowing fanning bees inside to effectively cool the hive.
🐝 Both the temperature and humidity within the hive are kept to a precise percentage, (they require temperatures 90-97°F to form properly) and ambient humidity for nectar to be evaporated to honey🍯

🦂Arizona Desert Hairy Scorpion
(Hadrurus arizonensis) is the largest scorpion species in North America.
🦂Growing up to 5.5 to 7 inches long, it features a dark back, yellow legs and pincers, and a body covered in tiny sensory hairs used to detect ground vibrations.
🦂Hairs: Tiny sensory bristles (setae) cover its body to sense movement in the wind and sand.
🦂Range: Native to the Sonoran and Mojave deserts in the southwestern United States (Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah) and northern Mexico. This one calls Maricopa Arizona home😎
🦂UV Glow: Like many scorpions, it glows a bright neon green/blue under ultraviolet (black) light.
🦂Behavior and DietNocturnal: Spends hot daylight hours hiding in deep underground burrows (up to 8 feet deep) and hunts at night.
🦂Diet: Eats large insects, spiders, lizards, snakes, and other scorpions using its powerful pincers to crush prey rather than relying heavily on venom.
🦂Lifespan: Females can live up to 15 to 20 years, while males typically live shorter lives after reaching maturity.
🦂Venom and Danger to HumansVenom Strength: Weak and mild, roughly comparable to a honeybee or hornet sting.
🦂Toxicity: Not life-threatening or medically significant to healthy humans, though the pinch and sting can be quite painful and cause local swelling.

The Olive Tree. 🌳
Definitely one of the favorite trees on the farm. It laughs in the face of every 116°plus day during our crazy hot summers! 🙌🔥
It is incredible to watch it grow even in extreme conditions! Reaching 3 years old this October 2026!
