He feels "tied down" to the homestead, which is funny because getting him to leave and go anywhere is like pulling teeth. Lol. I guess he likes the idea that he CAN go... not that he'll actually GO somewhere. He has fallen in love with the peeps though. He is also afraid of bees so he doesn't help tend them, but he makes me anything I need for them and he is very excited about honey. He loves it. maybe you can tempt your hubby with honey laced goodies...Farmgirl Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550237327556460565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168103910300304282.post-29635413674967994262012-04-23T09:50:48.932-07:002012-04-23T09:50:48.932-07:00Thanks Laura.

It has been a life-changing experience to say the least LOL. It took some time to adjust and I miss the animals dearly, but we continue to garden both vegetables and flowers.<br />Recently, I read some articles on raising honey bees and how scarce they were becoming in our area. My husband and I have considered having our own hive, but I'm not quite sure 1/2 acre is enough room. We have a lot of small children in the neighborhood and I don't know that much about how the two of them (bees and children) would mix. We live out in the country, but not a subdivision. Even so, children tend to cut through yards to get to their friend's house and you know the curiosity of kids...<br />Right now, it's a consideration in progress. I really enjoyed your post. It brought back fond memories for me over my morning coffee. I found you through the 'Homestead' hop ☺Mary Hudak-Collins livingthescripture.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181851742870395058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168103910300304282.post-80031531273052776232012-04-23T02:53:10.502-07:002012-04-23T02:53:10.502-07:00Oh the bees!

It is still too cold for them to go outside up here, well we have had a few very warm (very unusual) days in Maine this spring. Plus, my hubby hasn't built the coop yet, so we have a few weeks left to keep them in the house :-) I really want to get bees next year, I'm not sure my hubby agrees. He wasn't over the hill about the chicks, but once he saw how cute they were, he was happy. Now, if I can only figure out how to make the bees cute...Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261179479821073705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168103910300304282.post-67505548730260749092012-04-21T06:05:47.814-07:002012-04-21T06:05:47.814-07:00Those baby chicks look so sweet!, Thanks for hosti...Those baby chicks look so sweet!, Thanks for hosting agin this week, LauraCottage and Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197992828499503887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168103910300304282.post-63674852110976170512012-04-20T19:10:14.584-07:002012-04-20T19:10:14.584-07:00Wow! your bees have really been busy!
