Todd, I had 7 queens in a swarm this year. If you see a swarm taking off try the tanging method. Banging metal will make them think it is thundering and they will all land quick. Often times it will stop them from going high. Late summer swarm!
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about the bees. Fingers crossed they're able to get back down. Be safe! Oh, and thanks for the tip on the bell peppers. My beloved poblanos, ended up being bell peppers. They were gifted starts from a family friend. I don't care for bell peppers, but I'm happy I'll get to share them with neighbors and friends.
I charred some and put them on sandwiches. You'll want them still crispy. Just cut top and bottom, remover seeds and white pith, salt inside, char on grill, cram into jars, add a little olive oil, cool on counter, refrigerate, keeps long time.
@@smas3256 Oh thank you! I've never heard of bells stored like that. I'll have to try it. I may even end up liking them. 😁. I do like charring poblanos like that. One year I even made vegetarian tamales for my Mom. We used charred poblanos, and her special vegetarian cheese.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, my friend. The attention to detail and creative flair make each one a standout in its own right. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Don't worry about the ones that aren't ripe yet. Coons only eat the ripe ones. Just keep an eye on them. You can also put a couple of electric fences around your garden. Put one about 2-3 inches above the ground and the next one about 8 inches. That should take care of your corn problem.
Once the critters have found the corn there is no stopping them. The same thing happened to me this year. I picked some ears after I saw a few had been nibbled on. The next day they destroyed nearly the whole harvest. I tried to salvage what I could but it wasn't much.
Hey Rachel 🌻 My neighbor has a big garden w corn and said she plays talk radio outside all night and it deters the raccoons from the corn patch! 🌽 🌽 🌽 Awesome ideA 💡
We have had so many swarms this year, doubled our hives. It was very impressive to see you in the tree. We would have let that one go. Grannie used to get to pots or pie pans and bang them together over a hive to bring the swarm down into the hive. I don't do bees and hubby rolls his eyes at my grannies bee whisper technique.
Thanks for getting the bigger camera lense, Todd, the swarm footage was amazing! Hope you can lure them into a hive box. Nice morning harvest, you two! 🍅🐝
don't you love the compression of that lens? (I have it also, x-wedding photographer here). Rachel, we went to Blocks last week and they had lots of corn if your interested. We gave up trying to grow corn because of the same issue's, bugs, raccoons and deer. The deer would come into our backyard after the corn (very rarely see them otherwise), and just LAY all OVER the corn stalks, bending, breaking them and of course helping themselves to other vegtables/fruit trees. Our pear tree's got accosted by what we thought were squirrels, but NOW our neighbor has told us, nope its not just squirrels, its the coons. My husband has given up relocating the critters at this point, and we are now just eliminating what we find in our tree's. We got NO pears, they literally go up in the tree, when the pears are still small, and rip them off the branches, take a bite and flip them on the ground. They THINK they are going to do that to our peaches, but husband has pellet gun and is on the look out. The squirrels are harder to shoot at this point, they are fast, but the racoons, not so much. I wouldn't mind sharing, but these animals have no manners, they ruin, steal all and leave us nothing for five years now. It's war.
Have to say hubby and I agree with your final position on those critters. We are suburban and first thought 'aww, cute'. But when they became more menacing and aggressive with neighbor's pets and having the worry of health risks of their scat we changed positions. To me...in Suburbia, relocation equals unfair transfer of problems and inhumane death sentences on the relocated critters. We have been involved in community-wide TNR feral cat control efforts and are trying to reduce the resultant add-on effects as such as attracting other hungry predators such as raccoons.
I love your garden. One year we had racoons destroy part of our watermelon patch. The bees are so beautiful. I am also looking forward to your tomato video. Have a blessed day.
I had a lady come to my door a long time ago and she was all upset and said over and over, “Your bees could have stung us!” I didn’t have any bees😂 I investigated the tree along the sidewalk and there was a huge swarm on the trunk. I called a beekeeper listed in the yellow pages (I know, haha!) and I got to watch him collect them🐝 That was fun!
Our corn did ok too. It was super satisfying to let my granddaughter experience being in the garden with me this summer…she is 6 . She tried many things she’s never eaten before.She wants to learn so bad. Love your videos.
Nice garden harvest. Hope you can get those bee's back. We are finally going to get rain this Thursday and all next week. We are on day 67 and really need it bad. Always good to see yawl and we enjoy the channel. God Bless, Mike
I just cook my purple hull peas like red beans and rice with sausage. Some put ham hocks or ham chunks. They’re essentially black eyed peas like we eat for New Year’s Day. You don’t have to cook as long if you don’t let them dry on the vine. Young ones are tender and can eat those with the hull, just break off the end and pull the strings off. Nice pile of produce picked!!
Just want to thank you all! Somehow in my entire live, plus since being subscribed to your channel, had never heard the immature green stage of pepper 'ripeness' explained. Makes so much sense, and matches what I have observed, but didn't tie everything together. Never too late to learn new things. lol Shame abut the swarm/s. Fascinating footage, nice lens! The remaining corn worms you might be able to reduce with Bt in the silks, but then it's a rush to grab mostly full and ripe cobs before the bigger critters get to them. We had our corn on the back edge of the property this year. Bad idea. lol Corn will be the luxury rationed out item in the house until next year.
I totally understand with critters and stuff going on with the garden.. We wound up having a groundhog that mowed down all my sweet potatoes and all the tips of my pumpkins before the female flowers came out. But we were able to Trap it in a live trap and everything is growing again. I live in Missouri and it got too hot and dry too fast so my corn tasseled out way before the silks came so I had a pollination problem. If you have a live trap you can put some of the corn in it and set it outside the fence, you may catchthe raccoons. I think it's been a challenge to garden for almost everyone this year lol. Between the drought the bugs, the critters, time It's been a struggle but we gardeners are tough.
I lost one swarm this year too and another hive that I split got pushed out by wasps! Not a good year. You have racoons and we have badgers in UK. They ate my plums already and moved onto my tomatoes. To top it all, something is eating my cabbage, and it is not a rabbit, and the chickens have discovered the tomatoes in the field too. Good luck guys. Happy gardening!
The bee swarm is super exciting! I'm curious about the tie dye tomatoes and ones that aren't red. How do you know when to pick them if you can't rely on red coloring?
🙂 Thank you for continuing to share. I have never seen a bee swarm before. The sound from them was crazy. I hope you are able to gather them. so exciting
Those peas look like pink eyed purple hull peas, that produce black soup when cooked. They are the best to me. I live in Mississippi and we have peas everywhere. I put a little bacon drippings and some oil and salt, and cook slow. Be sure and make some Southern cornbread.
Noticed your Galveston Island shirt - I moved to Galveston a few years ago for medical school and started learning how to garden. Quite a different climate than you have but still have learned a lot from your channel!
Do you keep a couple hives blocked to open when that happens? Having your own honey is such a great experience. I'm sure they are helping pollination as well. Be glad some corn came in. Between drought and then dumps with high winds, didn't fend well here. Everything is hungry. Take care.
With organic gardening you need to expect they lovely critters eating some of your corn, better than eatting a load of chemicals! I had an issue worms this year in my corn! I don’t mind sharing if they take a small amount but that’s not always the case lol
Funny story about bee swarms. Where I used to work, just about everyone was outside, on a huge lot. Like acres of pavement. You learned really quick the sound of the swarms coming through. If you heard it, you had to call out on the radio to everyone else... Bees!!!! And everyone would duck down or jump into a car until they passed. If you happened to be driving in a golf cart, they would catch up to you and go around and hit the inside of the windshield. LOL.. Fun times.
A dog, a radio, bright lights and I shot gun are some ways to deal with critters in the corn. They sure are destructive after all the hard work growing it.
Well some corn like that first one wouldn't have filling out to the top anyway, sometime they are not full cobs with kernels that will finish developing, I get what Todd was trying to say. I don't go by the silk I look at the cob when you pull the husk back and gauge it from that and the feel of does it have a soft feeling around the cob or if it is hard then it is not finished developing in my opinion.
I found what looked like silly string all over one of my raised beds. So I took a picture and looked it up - turns out to be Dodders. I never heard of it before. Turns out to be a very invasive parasitic weed. So I sacrificed everything in that raised bed. Pulled it all out - bagged it and put it in the trash. I'll be spraying the soil in that bed with vinegar in hopes of eradicating it. So much to learn in the garden
Wow...that title was certainly appropriate! This was a full plot movie in ten minutes. Our favorite characters, the glory of their garden, worry over the raccoons/corn, resignation about salvaging the corn crop then dun-dun-dunnnnnn: Plot Twist! Bees?? Bees! You had me on the edge of my seat (for reals, in our little suburban yard we've experienced a swarm once that took two bee keepers to resolve). All us subbies will be waiting for the next swarm installment. Not that it won't be satisfying enough to see how you handle this year's tomato crop once you are ready to begin processing. My garden is on sabbath this year but I have some Dr. Wyche's seeds for next year. It looks like an amazing tomato and I hope I'll have good luck with it then. Thank you for the fun video today and best of luck with the swarm.
Ugh, coon! I think we will try a solar electric fence. Between the deer, coon, rabbits and insects-everything wants our stuff!! The doe is training her fawn to come to the salad bar now. And people can keep their cats in their house! I don’t want there crap nor the spray that stinks to high you know what and kills plants. Sorry, not fond of them. Nice harvest! I’ve been doing a happy dance over large onions and green peppers this year (seen your vid on 🧅😉). Middle of August and still waiting for popcorn and for paste tomatoes to ripen. The Burpee Super Sauce are huge! I won’t grow San Marzanos again. Too small and just heard 2 other people had same problem of blossom end rot on those only-no other varieties. It was just a couple, but was hoping they produced better. I don’t know what the flavor of Super Sauce is yet, but I bet they are a pound each. I wish they weren’t hybrids as I’m trying to find the best varieties of vegetables that do well here and prove good flavor/texture so I can save seeds. Figured out the Imperial broccoli was a winner.
Corn has been a struggle for us. We don't have enough room to grow what we need. We don't own the property so we can't fence it all the way around to keep the deer out. We are going to skip it until we buy something with a bigger yard we can fence properly.
Always love your videos. Quick question: you are one to try things and I like that. But I got a great deal on prepared horseradish. A gallon jug of it. Have you ever canned prepared horseradish or can it be done? I've heard about freezing it in small quantities but I have sooooo much. Thanks for any info you might be able to provide!!! Thanks guys!!
Todd, I had 7 queens in a swarm this year. If you see a swarm taking off try the tanging method. Banging metal will make them think it is thundering and they will all land quick. Often times it will stop them from going high. Late summer swarm!
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about the bees. Fingers crossed they're able to get back down. Be safe! Oh, and thanks for the tip on the bell peppers. My beloved poblanos, ended up being bell peppers. They were gifted starts from a family friend. I don't care for bell peppers, but I'm happy I'll get to share them with neighbors and friends.
I charred some and put them on sandwiches. You'll want them still crispy. Just cut top and bottom, remover seeds and white pith, salt inside, char on grill, cram into jars, add a little olive oil, cool on counter, refrigerate, keeps long time.
@@smas3256 Oh thank you! I've never heard of bells stored like that. I'll have to try it. I may even end up liking them. 😁. I do like charring poblanos like that. One year I even made vegetarian tamales for my Mom. We used charred poblanos, and her special vegetarian cheese.
The bee footage is great. Your garden crop is always beautiful to look at. Look forward to your tomato canning video.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, my friend. The attention to detail and creative flair make each one a standout in its own right. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

Oh, the purple hull peas bring back memories of me as a small child sitting on my great-grandmother's porch shelling those peas. 😍
Same!
Once the critters have found the corn there is no stopping them. The same thing happened to me this year. I picked some ears after I saw a few had been nibbled on. The next day they destroyed nearly the whole harvest. I tried to salvage what I could but it wasn't much.
Hey Rachel 🌻
My neighbor has a big garden w corn and said she plays talk radio outside all night and it deters the raccoons from the corn patch! 🌽 🌽 🌽
Awesome ideA 💡

Grannie used to get to pots or pie pans and bang them together over a hive to bring the swarm down into the hive. I don't do bees and hubby rolls his eyes at my grannies bee whisper technique.
That’s hilarious! Did it really work?
Thanks for getting the bigger camera lense, Todd, the swarm footage was amazing! Hope you can lure them into a hive box. Nice morning harvest, you two! 🍅🐝
Oh no! Swarms need to be captured….knock them down on a tarp with a box…they’ll do the “March”. It’s so cool! I watch the Bee Man on utube
Wonderful Rachel and Todd

There’s nothing more satisfying than harvesting a crop you’ve nurtured. The cycle is complete from field to fork - yummmm.
You forgot to say; "Hi, I'm Rachel, and you're at That 1870's Homestead."😊Love you guys!♥️
Gotta keep everyone on their toes ♥
Poo don’t you hate when you can’t get the swarm. Great harvest Rachel 💕🇨🇦
Ohmygosh, love the bee swarm! Definitely get them in a new hive. Beautiful tomato harvest, Rachel!
Very envious of your bee swarms! Some time next year, Yah willing!
Great footage of the swam. My son was fascinated. We have 1 single hive and we can't wait to get some honey from it next season.😊
Corn smut is like truffles! You can eat I !
Spending time in your garden is not a waste of time. 😀 I can't have a garden so I love spending time in yours!
Beautiful couple and beautiful garden too. 💞 Sending love from Philippines
I love your garden. One year we had racoons destroy part of our watermelon patch. The bees are so beautiful. I am also looking forward to your tomato video. Have a blessed day.
284 videos into your Master Playlist. Thankful to have found your channel… we are learning so much from you both! Much love from Indiana.
Awesome! Thank you!
Oh wow good luck catching those bees Todd
Good tip about picking peppers, thank you! 😊
I had a lady come to my door a long time ago and she was all upset and said over and over, “Your bees could have stung us!” I didn’t have any bees😂 I investigated the tree along the sidewalk and there was a huge swarm on the trunk. I called a beekeeper listed in the yellow pages (I know, haha!) and I got to watch him collect them🐝 That was fun!
Those tomatoes are beautiful. If your corn doesn't do well there is always Blocks :).
cool corn smut is a delicacy
Even though the bee collection did not work the first time, how amazing to hear it before you saw it! I hope you were able to get them eventually!
Our corn did ok too. It was super satisfying to let my granddaughter experience being in the garden with me this summer…she is 6 . She tried many things she’s never eaten before.She wants to learn so bad. Love your videos.

purple hull peas wonderful!! just shell them, cook with a little bacon grease!!! yum yum
Can't believe you haven't had purple hull peas! You will love I think, delicious peas. I live in Georgia and we've always had them.
Purple hulls peas with your green snap beans. And fat back.. or purple hull peas with your okra and tomatoes. Yummy.
Just want to thank you all! Somehow in my entire live, plus since being subscribed to your channel, had never heard the immature green stage of pepper 'ripeness' explained.

My goodness! That was a surprise!
I hope you can rescue more corn and squash before the raccoons get everything 😩 So frustrating!
Such a beautiful sight. I hope you can recuperate or queen . And your garden is gorgeous with plenty !
God bless!
Try to harvest those peas when there are still some tender snaps. It’s easier than shelling them all and the snaps are delicious!

I’ve never seen a bee swarm. It was very interesting to see. Thank you for sharing that part of your lives. Hope it all worked out.
Great harvest !
The bee swarm is super exciting! I'm curious about the tie dye tomatoes and ones that aren't red. How do you know when to pick them if you can't rely on red coloring?
My Husband and i . watch you channel all the time we have learned so much ty for sharing your experience with others
I lost a swarm this summer too. But my bees are all doing good.They we’re just to high up. You got lucky ❤️
It was so cool to be able to see the bees like that. Definitely great info!
Cool Bees!
The sound of those bees!
Wow! Great harvest indeed! I'd love to start beekeeping! I just discovered that a friend's husband is a keeper, so I need to follow up on that!
That would have been exciting!
That bee sworm is amazing thanks for sharing that with us. Just amazing! And as always great harvest, i love watvhing your channle
🙂 Thank you for continuing to share. I have never seen a bee swarm before. The sound from them was crazy. I hope you are able to gather them. so exciting
HOLY COW- THE SOUND OF THOSE MAD BEES!!! SO SO COOL! THANKS- I LOVE YOU GUYS! 👍
Thanks for the pepper tip!
Geez a huge swarm. Fall swarms are unusual

Great video as always. Praying for the two of you.
MI Marcia here...recommend pitting up a solar hot wire on top of your fence to keep racoons from using the fence.

I have never grown corn since the racoons cleaned out my 4 whole rows right before it was ready to harvest. I always just go to farms and buy it.
Leaving my corn on e stalks, I never have gotten any. Rn. As it all gets eaten by critters ! I grow it for fall decorating!
Corn smut!! It’s a Mexican delicacy. Fry it and eat it or give it to me to try 😊
At least the corn is standing this year!! And I’ve just heard about corn smut!!
Thanks for showing the bees. My cousin, Mike, started with bees this year.
Purple Hull peas , it's a southern thing
Earwigs love corn
I’m soooo jealous of your garden! Here in Texas, my garden is crispy and brown.😭
That’s made that the bees 🐝 just swarm like that! I don’t know what I would do! Lol
I found what looked like silly string all over one of my raised beds. So I took a picture and looked it up - turns out to be Dodders. I never heard of it before. Turns out to be a very invasive parasitic weed. So I sacrificed everything in that raised bed. Pulled it all out - bagged it and put it in the trash. I'll be spraying the soil in that bed with vinegar in hopes of eradicating it. So much to learn in the garden
Heyyyy Todd & Rachel thanks for sharing 8-18-2022😊., Todd you are brave I couldn’t do it bee 🐝
Wow! That swarm was insane!
Always learning from you two !
Wow...that title was certainly appropriate! This was a full plot movie in ten minutes. Our favorite characters, the glory of their garden, worry over the raccoons/corn, resignation about salvaging the corn crop then dun-dun-dunnnnnn: Plot Twist! Bees?? Bees! You had me on the edge of my seat (for reals, in our little suburban yard we've experienced a swarm once that took two bee keepers to resolve). All us subbies will be waiting for the next swarm installment. Not that it won't be satisfying enough to see how you handle this year's tomato crop once you are ready to begin processing.

Thank you for the fun video today and best of luck with the swarm.
I love bees but I am scared to death. Hearing them swarm was amazing yet like a horror movie. Your crops are lovely.
wow that's a lot of bees hopfuly you can get them to stay around and hang out In there hive insted of the tree
and grew opalka for a paste on recomend from Kevin and Sara..amazing size and yield...a defin from here on end
Hi friends
Wow so cool. Bees seem more challenging to keep than animals. Note to self: don't stand under bees 😜☺️
So the corn thief could be a squirrel. Our corn was raided by then one year.
I just saw recently that the corn smut is edible. Not sure I would want to try it…😝
Oh my gosh, I just saw that too! They say it's a delicacy - but I had a hard time even looking at the pictures. 🥴
It doesn’t look great, but free truffles!
Those tomatoes looked really tasty!
I'm a new subscriber and I have to say your channel is really good. Lots of stuff to learn from y'all!!!
😊 yay!
Ugh, coon! I think we will try a solar electric fence. Between the deer, coon, rabbits and insects-everything wants our stuff!! The doe is training her fawn to come to the salad bar now. And people can keep their cats in their house! I don’t want there crap nor the spray that stinks to high you know what and kills plants. Sorry, not fond of them.
Nice harvest! I’ve been doing a happy dance over large onions and green peppers this year (seen your vid on 🧅😉). Middle of August and still waiting for popcorn and for paste tomatoes to ripen.

Are you sure it was raccoon or was it human “mmm that’s good” 😆. The squash almost looked like an overgrown patti pan.
