We have an area way out in the south corner of the farm....that floods out during the rain. Over the past 6 months.........we have been doing a reclaiming of this area for a future site of honey bee hives.
Truck after truck of fill has been brought in....then we take the wheel loader to level out and compact this area. All done in layer after layer.....to assure a firm foundation in the future.
Few years back.....Willow trees were planted back there, to provide shade for the bees as well as some equipment that we be storing out there.
Bees forage productively for 2 miles from the hive, thereby covering an area of 12 square miles. Hey....that's a lot of honey! More buzz about the hives........ later.
