Active Bees!!

We have been quite busy around here the past few weeks and finally had a bit of time yesterday to check on the bee hives. We knew they were doing well but you always need to check anyways.
My husband went yesterday evening for a quick look and came back happy and surprised. He brought back some all natural bees wax done by the bees. It seems they realized they did not have enough room anymore so they started making their own wax to keep the eggs! it's so interesting..these bees really literally work their butts off every single day and don't waste a single minute.
Anyways, what my husband did was install a new floor (i am sure there's a different term for that but i am not aware of it LOL) well it's basically like a new floor in their house which is made up of ready bees wax that they can directly use to put honey and eggs in, so no need for them to work and waste time in making the wax! :)

here's a few pics to show you a bit more what i mean! You can clearly see the small white worm like things in the middle..these are the eggs!! so wonderful! I love bees :)

Farm Visits

It feels like such a long time since i last posted! i haven't had much time lately but there is so much to share. I have had some personal engagements mainly some paperwork and preparation to visit my sister in the Netherlands next month which i am super excited about as well as some farm related ideas and tiny projects.
We have had a few guests on the farm. All people we know like my previous boss and his family as well as my cousin and her family kind of to prepare ourselves for the eco tourism project we wish to eventually master.
We are having mainly tours for the children and showing them around, teaching them about the animals whether cows, chickens, bees and even the dogs who seem to be enjoying having new people over the most hehe

The last visit was my cousin and her family who passed by last Friday and enjoyed themselves a lot. We had breakfast of all local dairy products and eggs and my cousin actually gave me a nice idea of opening a bed and breakfast here. It's quite interesting coz there is not much financing needed and we already have some empty rooms so that is a project i will definitely be giving more thought.

It's such a nice feeling to see the kids enjoying themselves so much. they never want to leave and they ask the cutest questions. Last time Yvan (pic on the left) was like what's milking?! after we had asked him whether he wants to milk the cow. 

We hope to be inspirational to the kids and have a positive influence on them as well as educate them on farm and animal related issues which then they would share with their friends and who knows maybe a few farmers will evolve! :)
