Beekeeper on Vacation

Fast Eaters, Fast Builders We left our bees alone with as much food as we could find space for and left on vacation.  We were gone for a little over two weeks and kept our fingers crossed the whole time.  We weren’t sure there would be enough sugar water for them since they’ve been taking the food pretty fast.  Some of them had already started … Continue reading Beekeeper on Vacation

First Inspection

Happy Bees We did the first inspection of our hive today.  It was a little late.  We were supposed to inspect it in a week after we set up a new hive, but we let it go for a week and a half.   We wanted to do it within the time frame of one week, but either we came home after dark or the … Continue reading First Inspection

I walked #unionsquaregreenmarket today and realized that spring will be here soon enough. Plenty of Hellebores showed up at the market.

It’s been snowing since late this morning, our first snow that actually accumulated. More of our avian friends congregate at the feeders and birdbath during snow fall than any other time.

There’re only brown and gray in the garden but the Christmas cactus provides color in the house. They make winter more bearable. #cactus #cacti #christmascactus #houseplants #tropicalplants #easytogrowplants
