Took a little walk by the hives this afternoon. Not as hot so they are not “bearding” on the entrance. But tell you what. You can smell the honey from 20 feet away with the slight breeze!!

Bearding is when the bees hang around the outside of the hive because it is too hot inside. So don’t panic if you see it. They are actively fanning the entrance to create movement of air within the hive to regulate the inside climate. Bees have to maintain a steady temperature and humidity within the hive to support optimal larvae growth.

They have arrived just in time to put the hurting on the aphids! Ladybugs and green lacewing (no photo sorry) are great natural aphid control.

Fun fact - green lacewing larvae are called “aphid lions”!

Go get those aphids you fancy little bugs!!

Thanks to a conversation with a customer last night we learned a new way to have beets. Roasted! Soft and sweet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.

Even used the tops in our salad. Very little wasted.

A side of slow cooked collard greens with onion, garlic and red pepper flakes.

We would love to see what YOU have made with your veggies!
