Oh no! Yes, this year’s weather has been strange for sure. We have started seeing more as of late. Hopefully you will as well. Good luck to you with your bees & gardens. Thanks for watching & commenting.

@@OurWeekendHomestead I am doubtful bees will return they only live up to 6 weeks, and about 3 of those weeks have already passed. Very depressed over it

Hi there! Yes, we have been growing more and more of our own herbs and using them in all our recipes. We are working on a new video with more pickled egg recipes. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching & commenting.

Hi there! Each batch is different. I go off the temperature versus time. If I had to guess I’d say 25+ minutes for larger batches. It will also depend on the size of your pot. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching & commenting.

I let mine come to a rolling boil and then crank down the heat to slow simmer 30mins at most. The trick is to keep it hot enough to soften the berries without cooking them

Thanks for the comment. Thats a great idea. Next time I make it, I will be sure to weigh it all out and add an update. I’ve only ever made it by cups. Thanks for watching.

I read the most sugar should be 50% sugar, 50% berries, according to taste. I could not see minutes on timer.

BlackBerrys- however many you got Sugar- until it tastes good

They are super docile and we rarely see ours. Never had any issues with them at all. Thanks for watching & commenting.

Your set up sounds amazing. Good luck with your bees. I’m sure they will be real happy in the habitat you created for them. Thanks for watching!

Sorry about your low energy. These are our favorite supplements for energy. Give them a try. tinyurl.com/j9pm8y4f thanks for watching.

We love seeing them too! Thanks for watching & commenting.

Hi there! We have lots of videos on canning & even one on soap making. Go to our channel & view the playlists. We hope you find them useful. Thanks for watching!

Glad you found us. Good luck! Thanks for watching & commenting.

Mason bee shipping season ended in April. However, we are currently sending Summer Leaf bees!

Hi there! We had the same thoughts our first year of Mason bees. They are quite elusive. However, upon further inspection of our bee house we noticed filled tubes so we know they are still around. We don’t see them buzzing around as much as the leafcutters but when we do find one it’s an exciting sight. Our gardens are primarily vegetables & herbs. We do grow chamomile & calendula in abundance. We practice all organic gardening so no chemicals are used anywhere on the property, to keep the pollinators safe. We hope you see filled tubes this season with many Mason bees. Good luck. Thanks for watching & commenting.

Hey! Thanks guys!! That means so much. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching & commenting.

Glad you found us! Welcome to our little corner of social media. We are slowly getting things built & doing as much ourselves as we can. We have found some amazing help for the things we can’t do or don’t have the right equipment for or just don’t have the time to get it done. That has been a true blessing. It really all goes back to community and building friendships along the way. It takes time to find them but once you do, they will set you up with all the right people. We hope you enjoy our videos and look forward to hearing about your journey too here in the comments! Thanks for watching & commenting!!

Great idea! That would work really well too. Thanks so much for watching & commenting.

When temperatures are above 50 consistently & flowers are blooming. Thanks for watching!!

It’s amazing! 😊

That’s great! You’ll love having them. Thanks for watching & commenting! Good luck with your bees & gardens.

Thanks for watching!!

Miss him so much! I bet he would get a kick out of all of us for sure. ❤️

Will “ The heat’s in the work” go viral?

Great question. They should be fine. I would just rotate the jar daily to keep them moving around in the brine. Here is a link to fermentation weights. You could add one of these to push them down in your jar. Thanks so much for watching. amzn.to/3ThJGeN

Fascinating aren’t they?! We love all things bees. Thanks for watching & commenting.

That is so great. They are amazing little pollinators. Best of luck to you with your bees!! Thanks for watching & for the comment.

Great question. The fan is vented into the attic space. Thanks for watching & commenting.

That’s so great to hear! Glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your bees!! Thanks for commenting. More bee videos coming soon. Be sure to subscribe.

Hi there! Thanks so much. Plenty more work to do, but we are getting it done little by little. Thanks for the encouragement!!

I would think you could omit the sugar from the recipes. These recipes are not sweet and the spicy one gets hotter the longer it stays in the fridge. We have found, we really like refrigerated pickles best and they are so easy to make. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yay! Hope you love them as much as we do! Thanks for watching & commenting.

Glad you liked the video. Those larvae were solitary wasps that made their home in our bee house. Thanks for commenting.

That one is our favorite! Hope you enjoy it!! Thanks for commenting & watching!!

That’s good to know. How exciting. Good luck with your bees & gardens. Thanks for watching & commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting.

These bees are solitary bees and they do not swarm or sting. We rarely see them. What we do see are huge garden harvest’s & beautiful flowers in our gardens from their amazing pollination skills.

@@OurWeekendHomestead Thank you! I've learned something new.

We haven’t picked one yet, but we are leaning towards luxury vinyl flooring. If so we will get a 8mm thick one. As far as what’s best for radiant flooring. Solid surfaces are more efficient than carpet. Thank you for your comment. We look forward to hearing from you again.

Thanks! It’s great getting all the kids to come help. Yes, that catwalk has already been put to great use 😅

Thanks guys!! Little by little we are getting closer. Love & hugs can’t wait to get you guys out to see it 😉

Nice to meet you Victor! We are up in North West Montana. Glad you found us.

My name is Rick and I live N.W. of Victor. Where are you located?@@OurWeekendHomestead

Thanks for watching!! Glad you liked it.

Hi there! Glad you found us!! We only bought a small amount of reeds to start with. You can put as many as you like. It’s totally customizable. We have yet to see any battles. The bees are docile. You can have native & introduced in the same house no problem. Good luck with your gardens.

Hi there! Nope, we leave the wax paper on. The bees chew through it easily to access the candy board. Thanks for watching & commenting.

Thanks for the question. No need to remove it. The bees eat right through it with no issue.

I will look through my photos and see what I can find.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

I will try it to earn money..thank you madam for your recipies
