Strumelia's Blog: Honey harvest 2012
http://strumelia.blogspot.com/2012/11/honey-harvest-2012.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. I harvested two medium sized boxes of honey from my two most populated hives this year. I did not try to harvest honey from my other three hives, I just let them be. From the 16 or so medium frames mostly full of honey, I used the low tech 'crush and strain' method again this year and wound up with a harvest of about 4 gallons- 42 pounds.

Simple Amazing Grace: Mountain Dulcimer
http://melaniejocook.blogspot.com/p/mountain-dulcimer.html
You can have all this world.give me Jesus. My Story of Amazing Grace. I've long had a fascination for the music of the mountain dulcimer. It reminds me of Tennessee and the country simple life. I'm learning how to play both the drone/noter style and later with chords. You'll probably not see a video of me here playing it.but I'll let you in on progress as it comes. What is a dulcimer?

Strumelia's Blog: my bees in Winter
http://strumelia.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-bees-in-winter.html
Friday, February 22, 2013. My bees in Winter. This was not as good a winter for my bees as last year was, for sure- I have so far lost two of my four large hives. However, I was happy to see these two hives flying the other day during a brief warm spell! If they survive til Spring, I'll be splitting them into 4 hives just as soon as there are drones flying. Hope springs eternal! February 25, 2013 at 9:53 PM. How many people get your name, Strumelia? Patrick D. Chappelle. August 29, 2013 at 5:36 PM. Simpl...

Microbiotic Alchemy: Cider is awesome! Put yeast in juice! Drink!
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/04/cider-is-awesome-put-yeast-in-juice.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Put yeast in juice! Warning: This post may have been written under the influence of hard cider. Twenty bottles of cider - that's a lot of booze. I'm not a beer drinker, and while I like wine, I love cider! Wine is perfect for romantic, swanky dinners, but for a casual meal, you can't go wrong with cider. If you've never fermented your own alcohol before, don't despair; cider is as simple as it gets. Bottles, 16oz or 750 ml. Racking cane, optional.

Microbiotic Alchemy: Harder Cider
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/05/harder-cider.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Thursday, May 26, 2011. 8220;Wow, that is a lot of juice.” An older lady in the store said, ogling my cart. “I'm making cider.” I explained. “How do you do. 8221; she asked, a perplexed and slightly suspicious look on her face. “Well, basically you just add yeast and possibly sugar and let it ferment for a few weeks and then bottle it! And the cider makers. Yeast, preferably wine or champagne. Sugar, I used four pounds of turbinado. Can of apple juice concentrate. Campden table...

Dirt, booze, and microbes. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Drink of The Gods! Mead Zeus drank it. Hoards of rampaging Vikings drank it. Now you, too, can revel in the glory of mead. Mead is honey wine, the first known fermented beverage. Ever. This recipe is for cyser, or apple mead. I like apples in my booze. You could use a different kind of juice to suit your taste. All the equipment listed in my basic cider post. An additional fermentation vessel. I use the glass jugs that the juice comes in with. For a much...

Hi Michelle, That queen is a mix- possibly some italian and Russians and lots of mutt genes. Another beekeeper said she looked a lot like his Cordovan Italians. July 7, 2011 at 7:15 PM. Shes a beauty :) I like the look of the yellow ones. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Posts sorted by date, starting in 2009. Other Blogs I like.

Strumelia's Blog: A new bigger mason bee box
http://strumelia.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-bigger-mason-bee-box.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. A new bigger mason bee box. In a few days I'll be putting the chilled dormant cocoons from last year out to emerge right next to this new nesting box. I'm just waiting until a few more flowers are blooming. It's a very. Early Spring here, but the fruit trees are still not flowering. Right now my 2011 cocoons containing new adult bees are still sleeping safely in my refrigerator veggie crisper drawer. It's almost time for emergence! Labels: mason and solitary bees.
