Once we are done using equipment to process honey, we set it out for the bees to clean it up!

This was our process this past weekend of uncapping and scraping the frames, pressing and straining the honey, to the final product!

Last night while eating dinner, our daughter started talking about trying to eat a tablespoon of turmeric in water every day. Then Deidra Brown-Hall explained to her that it will not work that way and that it had to be combined with a fat and some crack pepper to reap the benefits of the turmeric. That made me think, "Wait a minute, we've talked about this before." And sure enough, Deidra had written about this back in 2018 and figured, why not reshare with you today!!

Sad day. First loss on the farm. I told Antoine I'm actually surprised we went this long with all the animals with as many predators there are around here.

Whatever it was, it, or, they came during the day. Every night we do a head count and they were all there. In the morning, a few of our girls know how to fly over the chicken fencing we keep them in at night. They like to wander around until we set the rest loose. Those are the ones that got taken.

What ever it was scaled or jumped the perimeter fence, some how bypassing the hot wire. Then dug it's way out dragging a girl with it - again bypassing the lower TWO hot wires (one inside and one outside).

It was hungry and determined. Now we have a reduction in workforce and have to figure out how in the world to keep the rest of the employees safe. Because whatever it was....will be back 😔😠

I think we might be a day or two late!! Mama did a great job of hiding them well! We have more babies!!! 🐣🐣🐣

This is an excellent example of not fighting against nature and just let nature do what it's designed to do!
