I move a lot of wheelbarrows full of dirty shavings...<br /><br />I still have stuff to learn about bees. The learning curve was quite a surprise to me. Four years on, and sometimes I still feel totally ignorant. So glad I have a good mentor!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-68621613846057234482013-01-14T22:19:05.268-05:002013-01-14T22:19:05.268-05:00I did indeed!I did indeed!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-24201619622785210842013-01-14T22:18:56.205-05:002013-01-14T22:18:56.205-05:00I have an assortment of whacky hats.

Usually in fall most of the drones get the boot, but a few always seem to manage to stay in the hive all winter!<br /><br />Poor CHarlotte is looking pretty tatty right now. A few of my hens are in moult and desperately need to grow in some new feathers. She really is so sweet.

I do, however, usually have Gert tucked under my arm. She hates the new chickens and prefers to jump up into my arms than be on the floor with them!
