Tomato season is here!

How’s your garden doing? The tomatoes are finally turning red here and time to get to canning sauce. Thought I’d share this old YouTube for those that don’t know the process. Please check out the YouTube Channel and “Subscribe”. I’m trying to reach that 100 subscriber mark. Help me out! Thanks in advance and enjoy this awesome day!

Honey Bee Swarm Capture from May 2019 – NEW TECHNIQUE

Homestead Happenings Blog

A honey bee swarm occurred back in May at the homestead while Josh from Blue Spruce Bee Company was on site. Josh shows a technique for getting the swarm to move from a height of about 35 feet to a height of about 10-15 feet for a more manageable capture. This is an amazing technique to know if you capture honey bee swarms.

Josh is an amazing beekeeper. He is extremely knowledgeable about bees and dedicated to helping the bee populations to thrive. Honey bees are his passion and it shows. Just get him talking on the subject!
