This time of year is exciting. The bees are busy!
Through rain and the heat they are making honey. They found plants which made it through the cold snap, to pollinate.
The more I learn about bees each year, the more fascinating I find them to bee (pun intended)!
I read all I can to learn about my apiary family. I was excited this year when Hunt County began our beekeepers group. If you are interested, it meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion on Moulton Street. The group helps me to know what other people are dealing with, tasks that I need to focus on, and it helps me feel a part of something bigger. Â
With all this excessive rain and the resulting mud, I look forward to spring to start to see the flowers blooming and even more so to get all the fresh vegetables and fruits that grow this time of year.
At Jones Wellness Ranch, we are working to grow some select produce that is all-natural, withh no chemical fertilizers nor pesticides. We also will focus on fresh eggs, as well as melons, watermelon, pumpkins, herbs and raw, local honey.
Healng Food Workshops
As the restrictions begin to ease, I plan to schedule several healing foods workshops, and yoga and wellness workshops and classes. We still have a lot of mud, so we will be waiting until June to check dates for events. Â
