    I Didn't Order a Kitten!

    Awewwwwweee!!! Congratulations on your new addition. FYI I do not think the cat distribution system is broken at all. It knew exactly where this baby needed to be placed to get the help and loving family she deserves.

    Ope. I guess they must have found a place they liked already, they have left the tree and I don’t know where they went now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Guess I’m going to just try managing what I have left. This beekeeping thing has been quite the learning experience so far and it’s only been a six month journey so...

    Well crap. My bees swarmed while I was at church! So a good portion of my bees are now 50feet high in an oak tree. Unreachable. Will they move lower so I can collect them?? What do I do now? Do I try to find a mated queen? Do I just hope the remaining bees do their thing and raise a new queen...

    adding more wax was suggested to me by my uncle who used to keep bees but hasn't in several years now. seems like it worked for the second brood box.:idunno

    I guess i will look into trying without the queen excluder for a bit to see if they build comb up there. And then maybe getting a different style one later. thanks for the advice!

    Yes I “took” an online class on YouTube presented by the university of Arkansas, which was very informative but now that things are up and going, I have some questions that were not answered in the course. For example: My first frames(plastic) I did not wax as the package stated they were...

    Who’s laying what?!

    I agree your description of the rows is kind of confusing with the layout of the picture. I have found my wyandottes have always laid a slightly lighter shade of brown than my other breeds. Not quite pink but leaning that direction. So your light ones could be from them. Also are they all...

    Hi! I just started my beekeeping journey this spring with a nuc of bees and hive kit my kids got me for Christmas. Anyone want to mentor me?? The hive appears to be growing but the bigger it gets the less I feel like I know what I’m doing!🥴

    Did I get lucky? Cockerel behaviour

    5 months old is still very young. If everyone is getting along well now that is great but don’t be surprised if behavior changes later. I’ve had some be super sweet until about 18 months old and then they suddenly despised everyone, and I had one that was a little jerk from day 7(not even...

    RIP Bert!😭😭

    This is Bert. He was my foster cat, I brought him home from the humane society in March while he was waiting for surgery on an ear hematoma scheduled for the beginning of April. He was the sweetest most affectionate cat ever. He just wanted to be loved on, nothing else, just love in any form you...
