Drstratton - My Backyard Journey Journal

[drstratton]

I'm finally all up to date on my beekeeping journal. So, I think I will be posting bee related info there from now on. Except for bees and blooms, I'll continue to post those here too.

A Carniolan bee on a Dahlia!

I meant to post this here, not in my beekeeping journal...Oops.

My daughter and SIL gave me this beautiful necklace for my birthday. Yesterday I showed it to my grandson and asked him what it was, he called it a dragonfly, he's into those right now, I corrected him and told him it was a bee. He reached out and gently took it in his little hand, with a sweet look on his face, then he pulled his hand away saying ow, with a mischievous grin. Our little boy is autistic, made my heart swell to see another development in his beautiful little personality.

I'm starting to get eggs almost every day now, not sure if I have more than two layers, but I'm thinking I might have.

Still on the small side.

She's on the move, must be treat time! Lol

Always exciting when they start laying.

I love it. I'll soon have more than my family can eat. I have many friends that I share with.
I might look into dehydrating them. I think it would be good for baking, scrambled eggs, just not sure how feasible it will be.

Drumroll ... all of the attention was for me... who am I trying to kid, it was the sunflower seeds...lol

You can freeze the eggs. Crack into a silicone cupcake pan and freeze. When frozen you can vacuum seal them in vacuum bags. Great for baking. Some people scramble (uncooked) then freeze, I just freeze.

Thank you, I'll have to try that this year! Since Covid, I have 3 freezers, so I should have room. We bought a 2nd, then our son gave us theirs when they moved.
