xmas has come and go and this year for my birthday i got bee hives in the yard, one more step towards the goal. 

The first day they were here they went a little crazy and were flying around the house and buzzing everybody nobody got stung so that was good, the  next day never saw one around the house.

we have a large population of wild bees around here too, they seem to be getting on no major problems yet.

This year(2013) we ended up with 16 chickens 5 duckling and 11 baby geese a good haul i thought, we the rain all through the summer so far the grass has managed to stay green for them so there is plenty to forage in.,
