Do honeybees like daylilies? They'll be blooming soon.

Unfortunately, the part that is too small is the hose adapter, not the fitting on the IBC. @Smokerbill, I'm going to measure what size the fitting is, and compare it to the info you linked. Thanks! I can continue to do what I've done for two summers, which is to fill a bucket from the IBC...

Thanks. We have brambles in bloom right now. Wild rose, black raspberries, blackberries. I'm not sure what's blooming next. Hubby really wants honey this year. Me too. I hope I've bought my last gallon of honey from my "bee guy."

We haven't used much smoke, but usually take it with us, just in case. Tomorrow, we are going to remove the Apivar we put in 8 weeks ago. Hubby wants to put on QEs and honey supers. I'll order some Formic Pro for mite treatment later in the season. Here's the thing... the supers are brand new...

How well does your property drain?

I've been using it a lot more in the past few months. My legs and arms are in the best shape ever in my life. I would never have guessed that my legs would be in better shape at 62 than at 22.

Dang, how'd I miss this question? This is my kind of question! Even! I would ALWAYS put 2 ice cubes in my iced tea glass. I do like a few odd numbers, but just a few. Sometimes, I feel badly for the capital letter B. It looks a bit like the number 13.

Beethoven!!! And Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and so many more, but we'll stop there. If I list them all, I'll miss one, and then I'd feel bad. But Beethoven gets the nod for favorite.

That's where I went. Thanks.

I'm going to post this in a few threads, and hopefully SOMEONE will have the answer. We have an IBC tote with about 200 gallons of water in it by the heavy soil garden that is too far from the house to run a hose. Hubby ordered a fitting with a garden hose connection that should have screwed...

Today I'm going to water the heavy soil garden, and then mulch what isn't mulched. I think I'll use a bit of the Alaskan Fish Fertilizer I have on the tomatoes and other stuff.

Last year was the first year I had enough rhubarb to pick, and I made a small amount of jam. I think I got about a pint...? Anyway, I put it in a jar and had it in the fridge. It didn't last long enough to worry about it going bad. :lau I have the "not enough to fill a jar" leftover bit in...

We sold fresh sweet corn from our garden for a dollar a dozen ears.

:lau Of course they don't! It's all about the money.

Do you mind?? Hatching is a rather personal activity!
