Though we don&#8217;t really celebrate Easter, Kaia and I wanted to do something crafty for spring. First we made sweet little birds nests (and ate way too many M&#038;M&#8217;s) We brought a few to a birthday party [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long while since we&#8217;ve really gotten into the bee hives and taken a good look at what is going on in there. After the swarms, we have 4 hives, but we have no idea how they are doing. So, Tuesday, a friend and bee mentor came out and helped me go through [...]]]></description>

He mainly talked with a few friends who have built them before and put together what he thought would work well for us. It&#8217;s 12 inches deep and long enough to fit 28 frames.

		<description><![CDATA[Ralph, one of our Black Australorp hens, has gone broody. Since we don&#8217;t have any roosters, and thus no fertilized eggs, I got 7 fertilized eggs from my brother-in-law. We marked them with a big &#8220;F&#8221; (fertilized) and slipped them under Ralph. She settled back in and happily covered them all with her wings. She&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
