Urban Agrarian: Bees Building Comb

http://urban-agrarian.blogspot.com/2009/06/bees-building-comb.html

Growing, harvesting and cooking vegetables, eggs and chickens while living on a small lot. Monday, June 15, 2009. I got 2 hives last year and 3 this year for a total of five. In one of my new hives the bees are building their comb in the wrong place. It's all my fault. I was short an inner cover and they built up up up. This is going to take a while to clean up and probably neither the bees or I will be totally happy with the process. Posted by Urban Agrarian. How did this turn out, UA?

Urban Agrarian: November 2009

http://urban-agrarian.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Growing, harvesting and cooking vegetables, eggs and chickens while living on a small lot. Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Novella Carpenter is Coming to Boston. Novella Carpenter is coming to Boston MA. That's my neck of the woods (er um pavement) and I'm really looking forward to meeting her. I think she makes those of us who have raised and slaughtered our own chickens feel a little less strange, or perhaps it just lets us know there are more kindred spirits in the world than we imagined. Here is the link.

Urban Agrarian: January 2008

http://urban-agrarian.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Growing, harvesting and cooking vegetables, eggs and chickens while living on a small lot. Saturday, January 05, 2008. Lately it's been cold. Cold enough that my car window has frost on the inside, as does my house and many other places that have breathing beings inside creating moisture on very cold windows. Frost seems to form in many patterns. Here is the feathery type as seen below on my bedroom window in the morning. Posted by Urban Agrarian. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Growing, harvesting and cooking vegetables, eggs and chickens while living on a small lot. Sunday, December 20, 2009. Free Lunch for Chickens. My plan was to see how much they ate, whether it affected their egg laying and how long the wet brewers grains would keep to see how practical and useful this free source of feed would be. I free fed layer pellets and I added a 2 nd. I do wonder if it may be a bit short of carbs. Posted by Urban Agrarian. If the barley goes bad it would possibly make good mulch fo...

Urban Agrarian: October 2007

http://urban-agrarian.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Growing, harvesting and cooking vegetables, eggs and chickens while living on a small lot. Sunday, October 28, 2007. The type of chickens that lay blue eggs are called Easter Eggers. Mixes and can lay blue, green, brown or white or a blend of those colors depending on the genetics. The gene for blue eggs is actually dominant. It is a seperate gene from the ones that control white or brown egg color. So the egg can have both blue and brown color. That can make them look greenish or kakhi. Ones and my favo...

Urban Agrarian: April 2007

http://urban-agrarian.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Growing, harvesting and cooking vegetables, eggs and chickens while living on a small lot. Sunday, April 08, 2007. The weather here today feels more like Christmas than Easter, but because of this micro climate I get to have some daffodils on Easter! I'm hoping to overwinter an artichoke in the warmest area in the corner next winter. Posted by Urban Agrarian. Sunday, April 01, 2007. 12 Day Old Baby Chicks. Posted by Urban Agrarian.
