What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. A friend invited me to take a tour of some apiaries (bee yards). We learned about the different hive types, but also about the holistic manner of living WITH nature. I used Udorami to help take notes along the way, edited a few items, but kept the rest as an “example.” Udorami view by Athena Christodoulou
Bees are NOT attracted to red flowers
I couldn't resist getting this beautiful California poppy while on the Bosque apiary. It was one of many colorful specimens around to delight bees and visitors alike. I forgot to ask if this flower, as close as it is to red, would be on a bee list. The link is to the organization which organized the Saturday tour. There were over ten sites available and we made it to only four, but had a great time with one of the most important species for our way of life....the BEE! Don't use pesticides. |
Warre in the Bosque
A Warre hive hybridizes the Lang (Langstroth) and Top-bar hives. This photograph shows the innards. We stumbled upon an apiary and horticultural gem at this site in the Bosque. Muscovy ducks took care of any snail problem and provided eggs. Flowers delighted the senses and fed bees and other pollinators. I was so enchanted I forgot to take many pictures. Add that connectivity was horrible, I couldn't upload a picture in a Udorami item, so I chucked the reporter role and just enjoyed the experience. Don't use pesticides! |
Frames for Lang hive
Black cell insert for brood and yellow for honey. Pop in a frame of food grade plastic coated with bees wax to attract bees. |
Honey flow hive from Australia
No queen or brood in top and can get honey without opening hive. Leaves Brood intact, avoided mites, wax left in to be rebuilt. For more mite control put Crisco on wax paper with powdered sugar |
|
|
Hat, veil, and hive tool
$290 for hives and need gloves, hat, fine mesh strainer, and smoker. Can't see red so plant other colors. |
Dawn in the city
Leave 10-12 bars over winter and add crystallized honey. 12lbs a year honey. |
S Sandoval
Dawn in the city. Kenyan Top bar @ with enough size for ten lbs each bar. |

I started our menu the week before Thanksgiving using a family circle and collaboration. This menu was not complete, and we actually had several more items than listed. I tried to pack everything into the picture even though they didn’t fit on the sideboard.

Spanakopita Recipe
Not this recipe! My own, of course. Some day I'll share it. For this dinner I make my own crust instead of relying on phyllo dough. It was the only way we ate spinach when we were younger. And it worked on my own sons!
Butternut Squash Pie
Paul - Instead of the standard pumpkin pie, I would like to try this recipe and compare.
Spanish Market
I have three tickets, but these may be able to get in 6 people. A couple hours of a cultural experience anyone? An offer of something to do on the weekend.
Random Vegetables
Paul: I'd like to have a side dish with vegetables, seeing if we can get a co-op share, or something.
Cheese crisps (appetizer)-Michele
Made by Michele to keep the hangrys at bay. We tend to aim for an early dinner in order to watch a movie. Unfortunately, we also run late always, so snacks are a must!
