Our "new to us" car is a 2018 Ford Focus. 49, 865 miles on it. It is so weird to see an odometer with JUST FIVE!! digits! :lau Color is grey.
So far, the only difference I've noticed between it and our 2016 is the color! All the switches and knobs and doohickeys are in the same place. And, for...

I'd say bees are less work than chickens. The initial outlay of money might be about the same.
Bees are humbling. Bees gonna do...
One thing I will be using more of is honey. Yep, we FINALLY got some from our bees.
Extracting will be a new adventure for us. :lol: We've had 2 or 3 presentations at the bee club about extracting, so we have a vague idea of how it goes. I helped Ed, my bee guy, when he gathered honey supers...
