Sometimes I wish I had a dumb dog, a dog that wasn't smart enough to be mischievous or sneaky. But I don't think that would be anywhere near as fun.

You could consider bees preppers. They stock up nectar (carbs) and pollen (protein) to help carry them through the long. cold winter.

We are working to make fall plantings, clean up the homestead, stock up, and generally make sure we are ready for winter.

We face our second hurricane in two weeks, prepare for cooler temperatures and ready our bees to get through the winter.

Our new dog is so quiet, there are times we forget we own her, but when necessary, she rose to the occasion with a deep bark.

It's finally time to harvest some honey and see how our bees performed this year.

While there are plenty of urban preppers, it is the hardest place to prep with the lowest expected survival outcome. in a long-term SHTF disaster.

Adding a good-size dog to our prepper property has been a goal of mine since Day One.

I didn't expect to harvest any honey this year, our first with the hives, but just 60 days later, we pulled our first frame of honey from one of the hives.

After looking at Rottweilers and investigating a few other breeds, we have selected a large livestock guardian dog for our homestead companion.
