If the babies are rubbery,What are the old ones like,Muskrat hockey pucks?
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

My girls are heavy into the goldenrod right now, you can smell it 20 yards away as you approach the hives, they are coming in packed heavy with the yellow pollen. We have a plant that looks like goldenrod but blooms the same time as the fireweed in July so they aren't on it. My bees are bringing in bright orange pollen now, I believe its from Icelandic poppies that grow on the road here.

BOCO No the old ones are better. Not sure why the babies are rubbery maybe thinner muktuk. Watch my beluga video from last year that calf was really rubbery. It got eaten though.
Really cool berry pictures YukonJeff listening to you postABOUT BEES I WANT SOME NOW JUST TO WATCH THEM AND POLLENTATE BERRIES. I DOUBT THEY WOULD MAKE MUCH HONEY OR SURVIVE THE WINTER THIS FAR NORTH BUT THE BERRIES WOULD FOR SURE BE WORTH IT. WE HAVE 11 BEARS AT THE DUMP SO THEY MAY BE A PROBLEM TO.

I'm impressed with your potato crop.

Muskrat, bee keeping is pretty addicting just like trapping. And fun to watch. I waste way too much time just sitting, looking at the river and watching my bees. Expensive hobby too. You might be a little too far north but I would try. I follow a Canadian bee keeper on YouTupe called, a Canadian Beekers Blog. Check him out makes tons of honey and has a good blog. Thanks Les, I would starve it was up to my garden to feed me. But do get some fresh vegies. Turnips do good here and collard greens, peas and I get baby carrots. lol Geese I got tonight are getting fat. Need a few more yet. Be time to get a moose soon.

Nice... Chickenminer. Good haul, Looks like good stuff too ! I only get baby carrots here, but have a few in the ground still going so might get a few bigger ones yet, not as big as yours I am sure. Well I hated the idea of buying honey this winter and grabbed two frames I had my eye on.. You can see where the queen laid right up through them. My take. I put the wet frames back on and fed them the same day. Oh, and one for A.V.you can see my baby carrots and turnips My turnips do pretty good here, for such cool, wet, windy summers we have. They also keep pretty good in the fridge all winter, and are awesome in moose soup.

I would love a green house someday, I do have raised beds I made out of logs, hard to see with all the grass growing around it. My soil is acidic from under the tundra, I have been adding compost every year and its getting better. Its burns any small vegi starts I plant in the spring in it now, need to lime it more too I guess. The voles are wondering where all their spuds went. My asparagus is doing good, harvest some next year maybe. Sweet corn and broccoli , not so much. lol We had a cold late spring here, one of the latest I remember, had no pollen coming in until mid may. And it was alder smoked, BBQ'd King salmon on the grill tonight. Food Don't get much better than that.
