Beekeeping

Mid-winter, A Warm Day

Cleaning Up Today, January 23, the temperature rose up to 62°F and the rain stopped around noon.  Our honeybees from hives #1 and #2 came out to relieve themselves and get some fresh air.  Hive #2 went into winter with fewer bees than hive #1, but today, many more bees emerged as the population clearly has grown. It seemed more bees than from Hive#1.  With … Continue reading Mid-winter, A Warm Day

Picked camomile flowers for tea today. These flowers will be air dried and can be kept through the winter. #herb #camomile #camomileflowers #backyardgarden #growyourownherbs #flowersfortea #organicherbs #herbgarden #backyardherbs #flowersforpollinators #pollinatorgarden #sunlovingflowers
My lone Tennessee echinacea (Echinacea Tennesseensis) finally bloom this year. This echinacea was on an endangered list years ago. I purchased the seeds from @bakercreekseeds and both directly sown in the garden as well as germinated in the house. Only one of the directly sown came up, this one. The one I germinated in the house were dug up by critters once I planted in the garden 😩So happy to see it bloom. #tennesseeechinacea #echinacea #backyardgarden #summergarden #pollinatorgarden #flowersforpollinators #pollinatorfriendly #sunlovingplants
What would summer be without fireflies? Plenty of them in the garden now. Their larvae eat slugs, snails and small insects so it’s nice to see the mature flies in my vegetable garden. #firefly #lightningbugs #insect #insects #beneficialinsects #backyardgarden #summergarden #naturalgardenpestcontrol #naturalpestcontrol #backyardecology #organicgarden #organicgardening #gardenorganically #vegetableflowers #mustardgreenflower
Black petunia. I’m not sure which look I like best…the wet look from the rain or the velvet look of the dry one (last image)#petunia #blackpetunia #annualflowers #blackflowers #backyardgarden #summergarden #sunlovingplants
Interesting behavior of this male Bluebird…in order to lure a female to nest in the chosen nest box, he first puts a tiny branch in there. Then he catches a gourmet spider Al dente, and offers it to her. She takes the bait. She’s building the nest now while he’s watching. This is the pair that laid the second brood eggs but I guess the squirrel took the eggs so they moved.
