Good morning! Sorry I've not been around much the last 2 days..... and I kind of skimmed through posts. A lack of focus on my part. Putting the finishing touches to the brooder, moving the lockdown eggs into the bedroom, moving the chickens feed from the detached garage to the house garage to start fermenting feed inside again (too cold to ferment outside).

I want to mention, that @rjohns39 posted that he keeps bees... BEES my friends... and not a single person batted an eye... it's like , *Oh, rj keeps bees too... well, that's rj!*.

I will already place my order for at least 5 jars. Kiddo eats raw, local honey daily to help with his allergies.

We'll have to see how they do next year. This year, no joy.

Pretty sure we'll find out
he's got a few sheep hidden away and shears them himself, cards the wool, dyes it with his own vegetable dyes, spins the yarn, and knits sweaters in all his spare time.
@rjohns39 's wife got herself a peach of a husband that's for sure.

Plus, 17 days a week, he visits nursing homes to read to the blind, volunteers at the local animal shelter to work with their Bengal tigers, sells raffle tickets for the homeless, collects alms for the poor, milks 100 cows and 200 goats (BY HAND mind you!) every day, teaches ESL to immigrants and cobbles leather shoes for 3 legged mice.


And this is a slow week!

You know we loves you @rjohns39.

I suppose the bees did not surprise me a bit.
Several of my neighbors keep bees. I plant extra things they like and provide a few waterers for just them. It makes for extra honey from them and they pollinate my veggies for me.
Plus its fun to freak people out by petting bees while they cringe! Just have to bee careful!

for keeping bees Bob!

Yes!
Used to have a recipe long ago that we made for the marching band (in giant trash bags!!!)
But sadly misplaced it
Please do!
