The pile of parts is getting smaller and smaller. The high tunnel build is going smooth, but there is a big push to get it done this week. Since there’s only about 60 days left of our season (give or take), Joey is very eager to get back on the tractor to work the pasture so he can throw down some seed. I hope we don’t miss our window!

• WEDDING BELLS •

I had the honor of doing wedding florals for a friend-of-a-friend! They made a special request for wild flowers and ferns, as a meaningful tribute to both the bride and groom’s grandmothers.

It was a privilege playing a small part on the Bride and Groom’s big day!

Congratulations Dana and Dustin! We wish you a lifetime full of love, laughter, and adventures together.

• BROKEN •

I spotted a gorgeous butterfly in the garden today, but noticed it was struggling to fly. As I quietly and slowly moved closer, I noticed there was a piece of it’s wing missing. Regardless, this butterfly fluttered from food source to food source, harvesting what it needed, while helpfully pollinating.

This served as a beautiful reminder to me that, although we might feel broken in some way, from our past, our present, or childhood, we are still beautiful in our own unique way and have a meaningful purpose in this life.

We eagerly welcome pollinators in our garden by creating an environment in which they can thrive in. If you are struggling to thrive where you are in life, it’s important to change your environment or create an environment that lets you thrive.

Flower: Verbena Bonariensis
Butterfly: Swallowtail

• BEE INSPECTION •

Hive #1 (Buckfast - in video) is on the verge of collapsing. Bees are present, but the population is very low, and there were no signs of the Queen. I will be exploring option on getting a mated Queen ASAP, hoping that this will save the colony before I lose it entirely.

Hive #2 (Carniolan) is improving from the last inspection. I wasn’t able to spot the Queen, but there were plenty of signs of her: Larvae, capped brood, and hatching working bees. Population is increasing, brood frames and honey frames are filling up.

Hive #3 (Italian) is BUSSIN’!!! The population has quadrupled since the last inspection. Brood frames and honey frames are pushing the max. New boxes added. Did not spot the queen, but she is obviously too busy putting in work to make an appearance. This hive was pretty irritated about my visit. A few bees flew up the pant leg of my overalls and I got stung on my legs and bootycrack.

Regardless of getting stung, I am feeling rich today because a few of my frames are full! Now to shop for a mated queen to get Hive #1 back on track. Wish us luck!
