RancherMan & I love raising cattle, and we added chickens to the mix because they’re so much fun and, you know, EGGS!
But we were wondering what (if anything) we’d like to add to our current barnyard fun. We’d tried raising goats but that just wasn’t for us. But then RancherMan hit on an idea: How about BEES?
His thought is that bees will help keep the garden pollinated, and I’ll hopefully finally be able to obtain local honey that includes ragweed pollen to try to treat my allergies naturally.
Sounds like fun – let’s jump in! We’ve never kept bees before so we’re NewBees! (groaaaann, bad pun…) There’s a lot to do before we actually receive any bees, come see how we prepared.
