As the weather warms and the snow melts, the bees get active and go out for "cleansing flights" (which are what you'd expect). After being holed up inside during the cold weather, it's nice to see the bees flying.

Last night my beehives had a close call when strong limbs fell during strong winds. Thankfully there was no real damage this time.

Small hive beetles are a persistent and destructive pest inside of a beehive. A strong colony, without excess space, can usually manage the beetles but this year has been particularly bad.

Day 1 of the Oklahoma Homestead Rendezvous is in the books. This video was early in the day as some vendors were still setting up - there's even more to see here now! If you're in the area of McAlester Oklahoma come out to hear some great speakers and shop the vendors. Of course, I hope you'll also stop by the Suburban Sodbuster booth to say hi!

I don't think of myself as a motivational speaker, but this encouragement has been running through my mind since I returned from the Ozarks Homesteading Expo. I know this isn't the normal fare on this channel but I hope you'll forgive me; I'll be back to bees and gardening soon. Even if nobody else finds this useful (but I hope you do), I might come back to this video myself when I'm struggling with self doubt.

It always feels like a treat to see new bees emerging from their cells, even though it's a commonplace occurrence each day.

We had a great time at the @ozarkshomesteading expo and a great audience for my talk on Saturday afternoon. Thank you to the organizers, the volunteers, and everyone who came by to say hello and/or attended my presentation.

I raise vegetables using no-till, organic methods in our backyard. I also keep honey bees, using natural, treatment-free methods, primarily in Layens hives.
