The Daily Compost: March 2011
http://thedailycompost.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. The hive on the left didn't make it through the winter. Same thing last year. The bees on the right are on a sugar supplemented diet now (late winter) so that the colony is buzzed and ready to go when the big maple bloom occurs. The three big nectar flows of the year for honey bees (non-native) in WEsTern Washington are maple, then blackberry (non-native) then knotweed (non-native). GBH, griev.great brittain hard co.blue heron. The new park acquisition. Not bad. After a year of si...

crowberry tales: September 2007
http://crowberrytales.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 29, 2007. Lonesome Einar's and blueberry pickin'. Einar, a trapper from Norway, passed on in the 1950's (I think.) His other cabin was a 50 mile walk back up the peninsula. Jen is now a shotgun toting berry harvester. Possibly not news for those who know her well. So far the gun's remained silent, except for basic training purposes - not Inde's favorite sound. Oval-leaved blueberry (Vaccinium ovalifolium). Friday, September 28, 2007. Will the fish gods cooperate? Windy view from the b...

The Daily Compost: The chestnuts
http://thedailycompost.blogspot.com/2011/11/chestnut.html
Thursday, November 17, 2011. Chestnut blight fungus, introduced in 1904, destroyed more than 4 billion American chestnut trees. These are probably hybrids of European (sweet) and American or East Asian. Chestnuts are apparently good nectar and pollen producers for honey bees. Our PNW pollinator guides don't mention this but chestnut honey production seems to be alive and well elsewhere. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Check out our earlier blogs. County Cork, Ireland.

Tuesday, September 27, 2011. We started out the day with ten of the school's parents lending their skills and energy to help out on a few projects. Now the tractor will stay dry, and we have a solar-collection spot. Still working on a use for that. Clearing the corn and gourd crop. And ended the day with the entire teacher population who threw an appreciation party for Jacquie. Candice, Chuck, and Jen. Debbie leading the clean-up crew. Storage onions out to dry. The gourd crop waiting to dry out. We're b...
