As usual, I am behind on everything but hoping to catch up. I am in the middle of planting 20-something yellow squash seedlings, still watering my heirloom tomato seedlings in the greenhouse and keeping an eye on the bees. So far I have found 3 queen cells where they were preparing to swarm, and I have split them off into new hives. I pulled off about 25-30 pounds of lovely light spring honey and bottled it, should have more soon. It is a blend of nectars from my fruit trees: apple, pear, plum, peach and nectarine. May also have some maple and black locust nectar in it.
This weekend Alex and Elvis' eggs hatched and we now have 10 baby geese. One baby spent the night under the heat lamp in the bath tub but now they are all together and happy.
A friend gave us 2 Serama roosters, so cute!
well gotta run to work! Later!
