Bee class

Randy Oliver opened up some hives. We dusted for mites, learned the proper way to smoke, remove supers, discussed frame types, drone frames, brood cells, queen excluders, and more.

E the goatherd

E and I herded the goats through the upper redwoods today. They loved eating the blackberries that grew as undergrowth. And I don't mean the berries - I mean the prickly plants: leaves, stems, and all!
