beeking out!

I installed our first package of bees (New World Carniolans) yesterday evening in our langstroth hive (pictured on the right). Today the bees were happily flying around, checking out their new digs. Tomorrow I get our second package of bees (Italians) and will put them in our top-bar hive. 2 different types of bees and 2 different types of hives...kinda crazy!

new chickies!

Ever since Little Boo became soup, we've wanted to add another chicken or two to our flock. I thought it might be fun for the girls (and me!) to try hatching some eggs. So we built ourselves an incubator and bought some fertile eggs from Trader Joe's...

The girls love the shadow puppets! Thanks so much, Auntie Mimi.
