Baby goats hopping all over, bees flying around the bee yard (apiary), cow and dairy goats in milk.
The list goes on, but these are the first signs of life after a long winter.
About 2 weeks ago, on a Sunday, my bees were flying all over trying to find food. I fed the hives and thought how wonderful spring will be… If the hives take off, we’ll have lots of honey. Of course, I have o do my fair share… I have to feed pollen patties and sugar water now, if I want that queen laying lots of eggs. And I want that queen laying lots of eggs NOW! In 2 months the honey flow will most likely be on, so I want a bunch of field bees out there collecting nectar for honey.
We had twins from a goat that weekend, and last week, we had 3 goats kid. So, we are up to 6 baby goats jumping and running all over the place. We have 2 more due in April, so that will bring us up to anywhere from 8 to 10 kids!
