Nursery expansion

Now that it's getting warmer, we have been working on an enclosed space to move the trees to.

It's close to both the greenhouse and the chicken coop. It has a seven foot deer fence around it, and we will be putting a fence around the base of its perimeter, so that the chickens can patrol the outside for bugs.

We cleared out any dead limbs from the trees overhead, opening up a little more light and avoiding possible high wind bombs. It also has weed barrier over the ground.

Once we move all the big trees and shrubs into the outside nursery, we'll be planting a bunch more inside the greenhouse.

Beehives

We now have 6 new beehives.

We've opened them up a couple of times, and they all seem to be doing well. There's plenty of brood, eggs, and bees in all of them, although we did have to give one weaker hive a couple of extra brood frames from the strongest hive. None of them have started to fill out the supers yet.

We'll continue to monitor them while they're getting established, but it all looks good.
