sermon of a 4 year old

at 03/04/13 10:20PM
included the following lines in all of it's hand-waving, voice-raising, two-minute long glory:

"who does we pray for every day?....God!"

"you....MUST believe!"

"that's all your fault"

she exited promptly via slide after "that's all your fault.
an interesting lesson, i'd say.

    LOL. So funny how they process what they hear from other people!

we now have honey. we will harvest more this coming weekend since we needed to do some research to find out how much to take from them so they could over"winter" well here in FL. we got around a gallon from the first run which was barely over half of the frames in a shallow super. a lot of honey for just a few frames. pretty exciting, and we made it out with no stings and a lot of adrenaline.

    :) Glad you didn't get stung again. I'll trade some chicks for honey when you come visit!

    You're very brave. And so much honey is very exciting! Morgan would love it, for sure!

hi, i'm new to beekeeping, can you tell?

at 10/14/12 9:45PM
the irony is that i didn't help move the hive; i got stung.
i maybe walked too close to the hive; i got stung.
maybe i'll have better luck collecting honey. just have to acquire the honey gate for the buckets.

clearly i'm committed.



it was right on my eyebrow, so the whole area around it swelled up.
i can now see thanks to some lavender oil from a mystery lady at an event we went to this afternoon.

    LOL! You look like the little guy on Animal Crossing when he shakes down a bee hive! Sorry.

    Lavender oil is great for stings. Glad it's improving. When will you get honey? Are the bees active year round there? We have two seasons here, late summer and late fall/early winter (at least some years).

we bottled the mead that we started in february.
seeing as it needed labels, we created a logo. this is the general - the mead one just says MEAD right above the ducks head.

    ^That's cute! What's in the feet?

    If you want some free* chickens you can make a visit to us coincide with a hatching and take home the chicks!

    *If you don't count the hundreds of dollars in gasoline.

    I think the branch it's holding should have 4 fingers.

    The point was you have to visit! :) It's incentive... or a bribe... or whatever.
