Tag: Homesteading

Not much going on around the homestead today, so I did chores and got things prepper in case storms from Hurricane Elsa get this...

We got off to a slow start back in mid-March and the weather wasn't the most cooperative, but we've finally finished building the chicken coop.

We may have small stock, but its keeping us busy! From feeding the bees to cleaning chicks with pasty butt, it's all part of a day in the life of a homseteader.

With spring giving way to summer and summer storms rolling through, we have to plan our work around the weather. There always seems to be more to be done.

Now that the beehives are set up, we need to get our fencing up before the bears sniff them out and come for a visit.

I never worked a forge or done any blacksmithing, but that's all going to change. Now I just have to decide what to make.

With the weather improving and the sun shining again, we embark on a host of gardening and other outdoor activities

As a blast of cold weather rolls Eastward, we fall back onto old winter habits and prep for possible snow fall.

You would not think twice about feeding your chickens, your goats, your pigs, and other livestock. Feeding your bees is important for hive health and honey production.

Are you a new beekeeper? Congratulations! Let's get your new hive set up and ready before your bees arrive.
