Yesterday, while my best friend and I painted the Nursery upstairs, Tool Lady worked on fixing up the coop. There was chicken wire and bird netting to be replaced, shade cloth to put up and a new structure to hold up the shade cloth and bird netting so we can…
Dead bees and excess honey. That’s what we found yesterday when we got into our hive. Sadness and confusion abound. The cold nights and blustery days of spring led us to postpone getting into the bees. We’ve wondered about them and checked them from afar. We watched orientation flights a…
