Does anyone else go through pantry, cupboards & closets every few years to purge stuff no longer used? Welp, I do and MOST of the time there are no regrets... Until I start making pies for the church pie contest and discovered that I only kept 1 glass pie plate. 🤪😂 The requirement is 2 pies! Off to the store we go...

8 hours of uncapping honey and spinning 60 frames! 😳
It was a long, sticky, yummy 😋 day, but there’s nothing quite like watching that beautiful golden honey pour out of the extractor. 💛🐝🍯

Angry bees today! 🐝😡💥💥😡🐝
Having a log house means that every few years, there’s a ton of work to do. Jon was prepping the house for stain when the bees decided he was a little too close for comfort. Needless to say, he got zapped twice!
It’s the time of year when the bees get a little spicy as they search for resources. There are still plenty of goldenrod fields, but that’s about all that’s left. And, of course, they aren’t too happy that their hives suddenly feel smaller after we removed the honey supers yesterday! 🍯

A blessing from garden to table.🌱
