Another satisfying week, for the first time since I’ve moved here over two months ago I’ve finally mowed all of the grass on my property. The grass on the West side gets covered in shade by the tree line leaving it to grow slower. The bees are also on the West side making it theContinue reading “10 May 2024”

My bees are doing well, at least they seem healthy and active. The photo I posted shows that they’re growing sideways, the black frames are for them to build their honeycombs on, but they want to BE independent. This was the third times I’ve interacted with the bees and it’s still an unsettling endeavor, IContinue reading “17 April 2024”

Releasing the queen bee went well and hopefully she decides to stay. The bees didn’t eat as much as I thought they would, which was good, I was afraid they’d go through all the food I gave them and be starving in a day because I don’t know how much bees eat. I had leftContinue reading “9 April 2024”

Another good weekend, our first normal weekend at the new house as my wife has been away doing new job training until now. The bees are off and running, on Saturday I dumped three pounds of bees into the hive and they’ve been looking good. Once I’m done here I’m going to release the queenContinue reading “8 April 2024”

Thujas are a fast growing evergreen that has a mature height of 60 feet, walnut treesContinue reading “4 April 2024”

A fairly uneventful morning on the farm today, I decided to slow things down and get some rest. Of course there’s no rest with a toddler, but I can at least minimize my extra curriculars to get me through the week. On Thursday I’ll have to record the podcast and Friday I need to getContinue reading “13 March 2024”

The work yesterday went well, got some work done today and there’ll be more to do tomorrow. The house is looking good though, so I’m hopefully. I ordered some bees for the Spring, when it comes to buy nature like plants, animals, and insects they’re often pre-ordered and will ship in the Spring. Plants canContinue reading “31 January 2024”
Stay away stagnation
At some point in the afternoon yesterday I started to think how it would make sense to find a house with the same quality of the place I live at now, but with two or more acres. I don’t know what spurred on the tangent, maybe thoughts that I would be happy owning the propertyContinue reading “Stay away stagnation”
