    I know that the kids really love how you two let them help. Instead of thinking that they won't do a good enough job or they'll take too long, you let them at it. It's got to be a blast for them!

    This may be arbitrary, but what if you named each hive after a flower? Blue Flow hive could be Bluebell, the Yellow Flow hive could be Daffodil, the green one could be Spider Mum (a green flower), and so on!

      Year round flowers would be lovely! And you can use a grass seed spreader to toss them everywhere. You'd need some from each season. Though I think their winters are too cold for any real flowers besides mistletoe and it might be a bit dangerous, since they're poisonous.
      There's so many different wildflowers that grow in the states too. If they plant more fruit trees, by the time the boys are in their teens, the bees will be helping pollinate those too. You can scatter the windfall and bug eaten fruits either with the pigs or in the treeline to help bolster them too and give seedlings a head start. Wildlife would then be prompted to visit those "wild windfall" trees at later dates, and leave the crop trees alone.

    I am from England. I was born and grew up in London so never had space for any animals as a kid. I saved and moved to the countryside and started watching you. I now have 4 ducks, 10 chickens, 2 dogs and am debating getting a small beehive due to me starting watching you. As someone who grew up in the city I was very unprepared and learnt a lot from your channel.

    This means I have been following for 5 years. Yes, Uriah was 2 you when I discovered this channel. Since then Isiah and Isabella has arrived and the farm moved to permanent large enough spot. Many more and different birds were added. There are now cows. The Aviary, although not completed is coming along. As we saw bee experience has grown as well as the number of hives. Joey, the dog was welcomed and is maturing just fine. The cats have their own dwellings.
    Yes, much has happened. TY for taking us along on this journey.

    Consider checking the boron level in your strawberries' soil. Odd shaped strawberries are an indicator of inadequate boron.

      @terryhenderson424 2 года назад +3

      @@obezyanka0976 Yes the strawberries are still edible at lower levels of boron deficienty but as it gets worse, they become a lot of outer skin and seeds; still edible but pretty crunchy with minimal juicy berry. The plants themselves will not be as healthy nor hardy; and they will have decreased yields. Some would argue that the berries themselves will not be as nutritious because they aren't able to draw as many goodies from the soil.

      @@whitehouseonthehill the only reason why you lose bee hives is the fact you have no knowledge about beekeeping,you are doing everything wrong starting from hives if you have dead hive remove all comb and put new wax and then instal bees,second don't use plastic foundations because i see in videos that they make half frame wax and on the corners nothing,next thing don't paint inside hive,don't buy bee queens which have paint all over their body because there is big chanse she will die,don't open very bees often,don't add second box if there is no at least 5 frames of brood and by that i mean more than half of frame,do treatment for varroa mite,bees can die even if they have honey in hive because if it is cold they can't move towards honey and they eventually die to help them put brood in centre and around honey frames,and during winter add sugar patty it will be like bridge for them to honey frames and it will keep bee cluster thight,in october add paper or any material that keep warmth,expand brood by adding empty frame to brood frame in the end of march and im may you can put frame in centre of brood the reason you do this is that in spring qeens lay a lot of eggs and you make space for her to lay more brood you repeat this as soon as queen lay entire frame,in may you will have strong hives and lot of swarms, i recommend you to use lr hive because it's the best hive for beekeeping,make swarms as soon as you have queen cells take 2 frames of brood and queen and 1 frame of honey and put that in new box,in the hive you take that from leave queen cells and they will make new queen very fast ,in august give them sugar water in ratio 1:1 ,this will stimulate queen to lay more winter bees and with a lot of bees they will easier survive,give them 1 liter every 2 days for 2 weeks,
      another mistake is bees can't always make their own queen it depends from season it takes 1 month for queen to start laying and sometimes it is to long because hive gets weaker,if you don't apply this advices and if you don't find good beekeper to teach you,you will always lose hives and they will always die,don't understand this as hate thought i tell you this to improve your skills about bees and to stop buying every year swarms but you will be able to sell them greetings from Europe
