october sun

I just love this indian summer that we are now having.  The weather has been just wonderful for being and working outside in.  The bees are still busy finding whatever pollen or nectar, (mostly if not all done by now) and getting their hives ready for the upcoming winter.  Supplemental feeding and medications, organic and natural of course, will begin next week.  Have a new product we are using called Apigard for varroa mites and tracheal mites.  This is natural and seems to work well so far.  Getting the rabbitry ready for the cold weather,  too.  Winter time breeding and young raising is always a challenge. This year should do better.  Talked about getting some beef cattle next spring now that the sheep are gone.  We'll see how this goes.  Good day.
