so busy, business booming, almost no time for outdoor activities, finding thise moments here and there.
Building turkey enclosures for the Bourbon reds we got from friends in Shasta, CA. My wife says I won't be able to butcher them, due to my being so friendly to them. Pretty cool birds for sure they follow me around, stay about 10' from me all the time I'm outside. They literally come running and flying to me when I get home. No worries, I've bled birds and animals before, just hang'em upside down nick'em and dress them out. Tasty Tasty. Turkey Turkey.
Plants are going in this week, I've been busy setting up my apiary, the Bee hives will be in the Cannabis Garden, I have 4 hives set up in there now, i'll have another 6 in a day. It's blackberry flow now, blossoms are busting open everywhere. Those are pine bough's in front of the beehives entrances, this allows the bees to reorientate themselves to this new location after being moved from my Apiary in N. Cali
Going to experiment with Bees and Cannabis this season. That's about 170'000 bees in the 4 hives. with the 10 hives I will have there will be about 350,000 - 500,000 + bees. Once all is set up I'll do the bee math and start work. Looking at about 1000lbs in honey this season. If it's Cannabis enhanced this is going to be interesting. Even if it's not, just being in the Cannabis garden the honey will go to Market as Cannabis friendly.

I live a few miles from you. I have a bunch of Spanish lavender with thousands of bees on them. Maybe they are your bees coming over for a visit? Anyone that wants bees should plant a bunch of Spanish lavender, they are drought resistant too.
Lavender makes great honey. Commands a higher price than your normal store shelf honey.
My neighbor down the way has a Lavender field, ex police chief from Los Angeles CA...grrrr.
I passionately hate all cops, they are a fucking waste of human flesh. dude has a mansion here,
that he probably bought with his theft of evidence funds and payoffs...all Cops are Evil, all of them. FTP!!!
personally I don't like Lavender's scent, but it grows wild all over Southern Oregon.

I'm not the ex-cop and don't know him. I will say that if the war on some drugs never happened, the police would have a better reputation with the general public. ( side note-Lavender smells like flowers mixed with terpinetine to me.)

Switched hives out for 4 stronger colonies, and set those other 4 back deeper on the property closer to the blackberries.
are Africanized, so not very aggressive. But they really dont benefit cannabis. A vital part of most other flowers though.
I will wait for this honey for sure
Africanized Bees are not up this far North. To cold.
Bee's do not attack for no reason, so always safe. In fact Bee's are extremely friendly, just very curious about you/me. Bees will immediately defend themselves if you swat at them, just ignore them, or push them away not swing your hand or panic.
Bee's handle sticky situations very well, ever get bee propolis on your fingers, stuff's worse than your sticky dabs. No worries about the bees getting stuck on the nugs. I'm betting they will gather the oils for making proplolis, I'm placing propolis screens in the hives in August after flowering starts.
Sometimes they just like to dive bomb for no reason I can figure except that one's just a pissy little girl.
Harvesting Blackberry Honey on the 4th July should have about +-120lbs of yummy Bee Barf.
