Are you getting all this rain lately? <br /><br />It took me a while for the concepts of permaculture to really sink in with me too. But then you have that "ah-ha" moment, and more and more, starts to make sense. I'm glad your bees are still being productive and healthy. No doubt, due to your understanding of their needs.:) Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-22040798930104097192016-09-08T19:30:19.975+10:002016-09-08T19:30:19.975+10:00Oh those dogs, so beautiful.

You sure do have a stack of nuc boxes there. Great for starting off new boxes though. Brian has also made a few more nuc boxes for this season, and hope to breed Queens for sale locally. I love to see your boxes with colours on each one, as we have done exactly the same thing and can see that the bees are finding it easier to differentiate their own hive. Burning off..grrrr!!

Just wondering what kind of chooks you have (and hence eat?) I have two isa brown australorp crosses which are getting a bit older and I am considering giving them the chop. They are heavier than an isa brown so I assume there's a bit of meat on them. I'm not sure if they will be worth it though...we haven't killed and eaten our own chickens before so I am excited and nervous!Katzie01https://www.blogger.com/profile/07712728533966656183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-45146116026106068822016-09-08T06:44:29.160+10:002016-09-08T06:44:29.160+10:00I think it's fantastic what you are doing with...I think it's fantastic what you are doing with the bees. The thought that some farmers discourage more hives is mind boggling, I'm sure they have their reasons (swarming) but our bee population needs our help!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900993246451486017noreply@blogger.com
