fall wildflowers
During the summer I allow the tall “weeds” to grow as they wish. In fall the goldenrod, fleabane and horseweed (and cosmos which I planted) are transformed to food delights for the bees and wasps.

Awesome site. I can see you have just started but already I do like what you are doing. Keep it up.
How about a post telling us what and how to set up a bee hive on the farm for a guy with zero experience?
Thanks for your comment. I still feel I am a beginner but if my bees make it through this winter (will be their second year) and if they do so without my having to administer any chemicals (I haven’t given any to date) then I will conclude maybe my methods are working and I will give a post. However, if you are interested, best way to get started is locate the local beekeepers’ association and they will give tips for your area and help for newcomers.
