Summer has arrived at TelltheBees, and with it, a few changes among the residents of this place we call home.
This little henny is sitting so faithfully on a wee little nest under our new screen porch. Hopefully we'll have itty bitty banties soon!
Jake found this chickadee nest in a hollow log a few weeks ago. Last week I discovered they'd hatched!
We had these three male ducks that, though handsome, were pretty rude (ahem) to the rest of the flock. They're gone now, and everyone is much happier. One set of their wings went home with our friend from Vermont to become a headdress of sorts!
Jake drove to Honey Glow Farm in Owen, WI on Saturday to pick up a new single of bees.
Now we have two colonies of honeybees in residence at the back of the garden, and along with the weather, are helping our vegetable and flower gardens go gangbusters.
Case in point: Peony blossoms as big as baby's heads!
Best of all, we have a new human at TelltheBees too!
Alexander Birch was born on April 25 in Wausau, WI and joined our family forever on May 22.
We're all settling in together quite nicely.
Summer is off to a wonderful start here, and we hope it is at your place, too.
So sweet! We are talking, talking about it around here. Thanks for sharing a bit of your beautiful life! If you think of it we'd love to see the photo you took of the girls and little Birch =) J
