Doesn’t it look like she is saying “what’s in here, Mom?” This girl is trouble! She is so curious, so brave, so loves to be naughty. She almost giggles at this game, and it is very easy to get her to play. All I have to do is go check for eggs, and there

Jeremy came over this weekend, and helped us knock together the frame of the horse structure. We busted our tail non-stop, and barely got enough done. We had a drop dead time of dark on Sunday to meet, and we did, but have so much more to go. We just covered the frame with

Look at that latch. What a wonderful sight and sound that was. It didn’t take me too long to get her going. Mama’s milk gave her a good boost of energy. I mostly left them alone, but Pearl kept coming over to the corner and stomping for my attention, wanted help. I swear she

Poor thing. She just hates everyone and everything right now. I’m trying to coddle her as much as I can, to not add to her stress. The current theory with what killed Mary is an overrun of a common bacteria that lives in their respiratory tract, and that can be caused by stress. The vet

I cleaned up the other two hives today. Both had pollen but no honey left. Also both had mice in residence. I’m unsure of what happened to the first one I cleaned up. It may have starved, but it may also have succumbed to XXX and then been robbed. The second I’m pretty sure died
