We just never know what will show up here at this little farm.Today we now have 30 bee hives and one could only guess how many bees to go with them.Diana and I were discussing how the bees were just not working on the crops this year .So on to craigslist and there was an add for a place to set some bee hives so the rest is hystory.I enjoy sitting and watching these little workers but have found out 10 foot is about as close as they will let me get to there hives then some lookout bee comes and escorts me away from his home.I havent been stung yet as I am not afraid of them and have a lot of respect for them and have always wanted some here at quack flat.
This is our first try at growing our own wheat.It dose take some time but I enjoyed every bit of it.I cut it with a hedge clipper and used an old leaf chipper to remove the husk from the wheat berry.I was able to harvest about 85 pounds and that will be a lot of bread this winter.
