Happy Labor Day from all of us at Bee Haven Acres
to all of you..... our family and friends we've met along life's path!
We are spending our weekend partying, picnicking, laboring.
Yep, we are taking advantage of a little extra time
and working on the "long list"....
you know, those chores that are not on the daily list...
those chores you save for when you have a little more time.
Like.....
honey harvest.....
(that's me giving a hive tour to our friends)
We made it through the harvest with only one sting.
Dear daughter, Jenn, our camera woman, was stung on the finger.
Ouch!.....sorry Jenn!
We had a much better harvest this year than last.
Still not enough to sell,
but not bad.
The honey is quite lovely
and oh, so good!
Hubbs spent a bit of time watering our orchards.
The weather here has been unbelievably dry for the past two weeks,
and there is not a speck of rain on the extended forecast.
Today we will be working on a major landscaping project.
I am also rearranging chickens today....
moving the new gals in with the big flock.
Oh, and Tuesday the new rooster condo arrives.
I'll post pictures on Wednesday.
Happy Labor Day!
I sure hope you take some time to relax today.

I've been thinking about beekeeping for about a year now. It looks really interesting and there is nothing like eating your own harvest. Have a great day!

Wish I could send some of our rain your way..we are like a rain forest here. I can not keep up to it. So many jobs to do before winter..and it is just to wet!!!
