We’ve been framed! Actually we’ve been preparing frames. My Honey Bees are doing a great job filling their hive, so it is time to add a second brood box. Up until now our Honey Bees have been living in a single brood box. This is the box at the bottom of the hive, where they […]
Our kitty cousins, Vegas and Kaz, are typical teenagers. Despite not visiting for over a year, at ages 16 and 13, they thought they were too cool to hang out with their younger cousins, namely Asa and myself.

I thought I’d take this time to give you an update on some of our previous posts. First off, I’m pleased to say Asa’s venture into becoming a building materials supplier for bird nests has been quite successful.
