We’ve had entire week of warm and dry weather, which is good because we have a million things to do. The waterfowl went outside last weekend, in electric poultry netting. They started with a dogloo for shelter, yesterday we added a dog crate so the ducks and geese each have their own digs. They’re

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

It’s Saturday, it’s warm, I’ve been gone all week, and I couldn’t wait to get out there in the garden and get going. I started this year with my least favorite bed. I figure if I start the spring clean up here, or perhaps I’ll keep it under control and stop avoiding it so much.
