Here I go again. The 3rd year for beekeeping.
The hive is getting so big after this cold winter. Lots of brood, nectar and they are bringing in a lot of pollen.
I hope to split this hive in about a month.
Thank you Beth Brown for taking pictures.

Here’s hoping for a good winter and successful spring of 2025.

My beautiful beeswax. Yes, it is just that color and I wish everyone could smell it.

Bees consume honey, which is rich in sugar, to produce wax. To make one pound of wax, bees consume about eight to ten pounds of honey

Nature is so amazing. All created by God.

I extracted honey today. This is payoff for beekeeping.

Wow it’s amazing what I can get done when it’s not 100 and hot sunshine. I put up shade cloth on my straw bale garden today. Things were getting a little toasty. Bring on the high temps. Hopefully I am ready.

I learned something the last few weeks. If you pick your tomatoes when the are just starting to turn you don’t have trouble with bugs eating them. It has worked for me.
I picked tomatoes and basil today. I am going to make homemade sphaghetti sauce from my ripe tomatoes.

Having grapes is a first for me. I did not even know what young grapes looked like, so this has been educational also. Here is a pic that was taken just 26 days apart. From what I have read it takes about 3 months for grapes to ripen. We will see.
All I did was put posts up and attached cattle panels. Very easy!!!
I am loving this.

My straw bale garden is doing great this year.
I am growing squash vertically for the first time. It is doing really well. And my blackberries are doing great also. I can’t wait to make a blackberry cobbler.

If anyone is needing more plants for your garden, Bomgaars has great ones in their greenhouse at their store. They were nice size and on sale!!
