Yes, that’s the sound of time ticking away as the end of my summer approaches. My first day at work is just over a week away and we have so much left to do. I don’t feel stressed, but last night I dreamed that I left school to run errands during lunch, gotContinue reading “Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock….”

Lots of Work: Lots of Progress
…but still so much more to do! Our RV upgrade was delivered on Tuesday, so we will soon have 765 square feet of living space and a shower that Hubby can stand under! Of course, we have to endure the waiting game first — waiting for the electrician to hook the home up, thenContinue reading “Lots of Work: Lots of Progress”

Slowly Moving West
We have started taking plants and boxes of household goods to the farm — just what will fit in the vehicles each time and what we have had time to pack. Most of the bee stuff is down there now, which makes getting around in the 40-foot container challenging! Still, the bees are rapidlyContinue reading “Slowly Moving West”
The Return of the Hives!
One good thing about this time of year is that I can perform full checks of 18 hives in just a couple of hours! While I’d hate to see so few bees and no honey come June, it sure is nice to be able to knock out half the bee yard before lunch without evenContinue reading “The Return of the Hives!”
