Hi Debbie,
I started it, it's in "Other Pets & Livestock". I will continue to add information as I have time.

Thread 'Our Backyard Bee Journey!' https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/our-backyard-bee-journey-.1670607/

Of course it's a journey...lol

I'll head over there now, thanks!

This is Cobweb, one of my new girls.
She's a complete nutter.
Our temps are dipping below 0c. some nights & this insane girl has decided to sit. Not on eggs, mind you. She just wants to sit in a nesting box & contemplate her navel!​

She's beautiful! She definitely has that broody look...lol

Hi everyone! Where has the time gone? Life has been so crazy busy, but I do think of all of my friends here often. I hope you are all doing well.

Lost my beautiful mama last year. She was 93.5. She lived a long life and I will miss her forever. God blessed us with another grandbaby in 2023, she and her brother are a joy. Life goes on.

We have 5 girls and one Roo remaining from our flock of 5 years ago, wow, 5 years. We added 20 more littles. Dale set up a nice initial brood area for them so that our grandbaby's could see them, without being able to grab them. Those little hands are quick...lol

We decided to find new homes for our peacocks. It broke my heart to sell the baby's, their mama would cry and cry for them. I just couldn't do it anymore.

We also decided to keep honeybees after talking about it for the last 20-25 years. They are so amazing, I had no idea. We will be extracting our first honey tomorrow.

Well, that's the quick update. Sorry, I've been away so long.

Oh my gosh!! I have been wondering about you so sorry about your mother… I am taking care of my mother… her house is on my property.. she is 88 and going strong. My MIL is not doing so well
I hadn’t been here in awhile myself but started back recently with updates (check out my thread) but it is so good to hear from you! Congratulations on the new baby and your pictures are beautiful

Thank you. I think so.

So good to see you too
I should check out your thread as well…. I have a bunch of frizzled bantam Cochins and even a frazzle

@WhoDatChick nice to see you back too!

Thank you
I am glad to be back!
Someone commented on my old thread “Meet my chick” formally known as “TRUMP 2020” which was about my naked neck rooster TRUMP… and it was so fun to go back and read a bunch of it… also a little sad… that’s one of the reasons I was thinking about @drstratton… we sure did have some fun times laughing about my red hot red neck

Hi there! I'm glad you're back on too.
Thank you, she will be forever missed. So glad your mom is still going strong. Sad for your MIL, it's so hard to watch them age. Cherish every moment you have!
Thank you. Our grandbaby's are such a blessing.

Yes we did! I'm laughing right now...lol.
I'll head to your thread as soon as I can. We're harvesting honey today and I had a quick break.
