Around the end of March RancherMan & I start thinking about splitting our beehives. Splitting a hive accomplishes 2 things – it expands the number of hives in your apiary. (yea!) But it also gives the bees a little elbow room by putting empty frames in each hive allowing for expansion.
We often do our splits by swapping empty frames for full ones. It was easy!

Raised beds make gardening & harvesting so much easier with less gardening on your hands & knees. And that’s a good thing, I’m not getting any younger, y’all!
But not all raised beds are created equal. The quality of some of those cheaper raised beds I see online concern me, they require reinforcing crossbars to anchor the sides of the bed. The metal on those beds is apparently so thin it cannot withstand soil being added. But gosh, isn’t that what a raised bed is for in the first place?
