Last night we paid a visit to Earthkeeper Farm to watch them open the bee hives and do some work. Jed has been reading up on beekeeping, and they invited him to "suit up" and help out. Owen, Julian and I watched from a distance, but I have to say that the bees were much more mild mannered than I had imagined. After the work was finished, we enjoyed some homemade bread and honey!
Owen was mostly excited about seeing the tractor again. When Andrew offered to take him for a ride, a minor meltdown ensued (it's kind of loud and scary!). We settled for feeding the chickens instead. Andrew and Rachelle just built a new coop for the chickens, so they're getting used to a new home. Rachelle said it's like an Easter egg hunt every morning because they're laying their eggs all over the place.
