Strumelia's Blog: Honey harvest 2012
http://strumelia.blogspot.com/2012/11/honey-harvest-2012.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. I harvested two medium sized boxes of honey from my two most populated hives this year. I did not try to harvest honey from my other three hives, I just let them be. From the 16 or so medium frames mostly full of honey, I used the low tech 'crush and strain' method again this year and wound up with a harvest of about 4 gallons- 42 pounds.

Strumelia's Blog: my bees in Winter
http://strumelia.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-bees-in-winter.html
Friday, February 22, 2013. My bees in Winter. This was not as good a winter for my bees as last year was, for sure- I have so far lost two of my four large hives. However, I was happy to see these two hives flying the other day during a brief warm spell! If they survive til Spring, I'll be splitting them into 4 hives just as soon as there are drones flying. Hope springs eternal! February 25, 2013 at 9:53 PM. How many people get your name, Strumelia? Patrick D. Chappelle. August 29, 2013 at 5:36 PM. Simpl...

Strumelia's Blog: A new bigger mason bee box
http://strumelia.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-bigger-mason-bee-box.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. A new bigger mason bee box. In a few days I'll be putting the chilled dormant cocoons from last year out to emerge right next to this new nesting box. I'm just waiting until a few more flowers are blooming. It's a very. Early Spring here, but the fruit trees are still not flowering. Right now my 2011 cocoons containing new adult bees are still sleeping safely in my refrigerator veggie crisper drawer. It's almost time for emergence! Labels: mason and solitary bees.

Strumelia's Blog: A new Queen
http://strumelia.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-queen.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Click on the photos and you'll see them bigger). July 7, 2011 at 12:08 PM. We have carniolans and our queens are almost black. July 7, 2011 at 1:00 PM. Hi Michelle, That queen is a mix- possibly some italian and Russians and lots of mutt genes. Another beekeeper said she looked a lot like his Cordovan Italians. July 7, 2011 at 7:15 PM. Shes a beauty :) I like the look of the yellow ones. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Posts sorted by date, starting in 2009. Other Blogs I like.

Mental Menagerie: Soulful Sunday - Initiating Mindful Thinking
http://thefoxtaleblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/soulful-sunday-initiating-mindful.html
Sunday, March 2, 2014. Soulful Sunday - Initiating Mindful Thinking. It has been my inclination for these past couple years to be full. By full, I mean, to have a filled schedule, and to live a full and fulfilling life. I accomplished this by accepting a full-time job offer, and beginning a full-time masters program. I also began planning a wedding with my beloved, and attended to my usual suburban farm chores and more impulsive, short-term projects. I break it down into steps:. It's working for me.

Mental Menagerie: Music of 2015
http://thefoxtaleblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/music-of-2015.html
Monday, February 1, 2016. In remembering my youth, I recalled that I used to obsessively listen to albums with the booklet in my hand. I would reread lyrics and view the art. I wondered if my increasingly slim attention span had been affecting my musical adventures, though streaming services have provided this procedure of random playlists with ease. For the first time in years, I have a favorite albums list for a calendar year. Alabama Shakes – Sound & Color. Torres – Sprinter. I am in love with this wo...
