Birds (Turkeys) and the Bees

Hi All,
In my previous posts I mentioned we had a renter in the house formally known as crack house. All is going well there. We originally thought we'd get a grad student or intern to rent the house. Since that wasn't the case we really didn't do a crack up job (pun intended) so went back and did a few improvements once our renter moved in.

There was no place to put her washer and dryer so we added a covered back porch with all the necessary hook ups. Here's what it looks like...

This past week we also moved the turkeys to their permanent home - a hoop house that Susan had in Georgia. It took us a lot longer to get it back up than it did to take it down.

The turkeys are getting big and appear to enjoy their new digs

And last but not least, we attempted to split our two bee colonies into four. It'll be a couple of weeks before we know if we were successful or not. One thing I can tell you, it's not great fun when a bee gets inside your bee suit with you.

This is what it looks like when you get stung on your eyelid

I'm going to go ice my eye some more. Take care.

Brian
