  • 072-Honeybees are Thriving
    A full inspection of our three hives revealed two of the three are thriving, while the third one is gaining ground. We give a report on management of hive beetles and our efforts to help the third hive survive. Along the way, you will hear us talk about a few of the things honeybees pollinate on the farm and one surprising plant they don’t.

    Over the past weekend we attended the Mother Earth News Fair in Asheville, NC. We have been long time Mother Earth News readers and also attend as many of the Fairs as possible. The Fair is for homesteaders, naturalists, market gardeners, beekeepers, those interested in self-sufficiency and sustainability as well as people interested in improving their health. There is truly something for everyone.
