Our Honey bees won't go in our greenhouse to pollinate our veggies so we bought a bumble bee hive to setup in the greenhouse to pollinate the plants.

I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

I learned to pet our native bumblebees when I was a child, and they were gathering pollen from hollyhock flowers. Never been stung by one. They are so soft, not aggressive at all and will walk on people. No bee suit even when Dad and I raised honey bees, just veil. Loved it.

Goooooood Afternoon , Al , Gina & Olivia , I learned something today ! I didn't know that you could buy Bumblebees. I have heard that they are actually better pollinators than honeybees. Of course honeybees also give us honey. Life is full of surprises with a Chinese wife. Ling had asked me if I wanted to have some pancakes for lunch ? I said , sure . I was expecting , you know , pancakes with blueberries and some maple syrup. What I was served were very thin pancakes made with chopped up onion tops , lettuce , and no maple syrup ! Tasty yes , but certainly not what I was expecting. No wonder she gave me an odd look when I suggested that she use some buttermilk to make the batter. lol In the garden , Ling also picks the male squash blossoms to pollinate the female blossoms. And then she brings the male blossoms into the house and cooks them for supper. Xaioling boils them I think. To tell the truth , I don't like them very much. She loves them. I've heard of the blossoms being dipped into batter and then fried. I might like that better than boiled.

Chickens still getting out, we had a few and after clipping one side "short" (that is down near the flesh and bone area, they could no longer fly in a straight line, so could not fly over our 6-foot tall fence. So clipping and raising your fence would solve your problem keeping your egg layers from laying eggs elsewhere to attract critters, that may very well start killing your chickens. I like your operation and how you have created a natural loop ecosystem.

Good morning Al & Gina- These appear to be hybrid bumble bees, designed for green houses. I am not sure if they overwinter, like native bumble bees. The University of Maine is well versed on bumble bees. They did a Maine bumble bee census about 6 or 7 years ago and were very helpful to me. We use native bumble bees in our gardens, attracting them with the marvelous herb, Borage. Some encouraging information. I have worked in closely planted gardens, LOADED with so many NH native bumble bees that it was deafening and I never got stung! They were too happy and busy in the Borage and the squash! The Borage contains Omega-3, which is great for the bees. I only sugar the Borage blossoms or put them in salads or dry them. Their leaves can stress your liver in the raw form. I buy the organic oil in capsules. Enjoy those bees! They remind me of bees in teddy bear suits! P.S. I brought Borage to our woodland garden and now I have a small specie of bumble bee and some tiny wild bees pollinating. Great pickle recipe! ~Diane

Love the zukes, too! Especially like to cut them into 2 inch sticks and dip them in a Panang(sp?) sauce. It is peanut butter with some soy sauce added with a bit of warm water to thin it. I also add hot peppers and fish sauce (more like a Thai recipe "Panang"), but it is delish either way. Makes a great snack. Thank you, Al & Gina & Olivia & all the critters for sharing your daily doings. I feel uplifted and joyous when I watch you all. 🙏 😊

You could always do an experiment with the meat birds. You have many that were raised in the tractor, so it would be easy to see which tastes better, and is easier to process, and which ones are larger. I'd assume that keeping them in a smaller area would lead to larger birds, and therefore more meat, as they're burning less calories to get around. And in the tractor they're definitely going to be cleaner! I wouldn't be surprised if they -do- already get grasshoppers in their tractors. I'm excited to see what works best for y'all!

Al, we have our meat birds in a chicken tractor AND they free range. We built a small door in one side of the tractor so the birds can go in and out, and they’re contained in an electric poultry fence with a solar charger. We open the door every morning after we’ve moved the tractor and shut them in every night for safety. Gives the birds the best of both worlds.

My hubby took an old trailer frame, built a simple frame on top with just a few cross pieces out of wood, then stapled a tarp over it. We let most of the tarp drape to the ground but cut one end so that it was halfway to the ground for them to get in and out. We pastured them inside a Premier electric fence. The first batch, we moved around the raspberry patch with one end in the shade. I attached a 14" x 45" bird netting over the other end to prevent aerial predators. The second batch we have in a more wooded area with tall grass inside to protect them from aerial. So far no losses and they were far happier outside than in a small coop.

You're going to need a Gorilla cart for harvesting pretty soon. Well done! Your three sisters garden is looking fantastic, and it grew so quickly! I watched you plant that one. I like those PVC hoop frameworks over the raised beds... with those you can use plastic or row covers or shade cloth or even hardware cloth. That's a perfect set up for strawberries to keep the birds and rodents out, as well.

Justin Rhodes has something like what you may want called the sheepshaw I think. Really just looks like plywood on wheels, but it keeps them protected from heat and predators from above, then also with his chickens he has a goose in there with them.

Thank you for sharing your life with us. I look forward to the videos each day. As to the free ranging your meat birds or for that matter any of the chickens I will share what worked for me for the years I raised from 15 to 40 chickens on my small farm. I built a approx one quarter acre enclosed chicken yard with the smaller chicken wire. I turned it outward about a foot at the bottom so no predators could crawl in under the fence. Here's the key to this yard. Within the yard I placed randomly spaced upright poles throughout the yard. I buried the posts approx 1 foot so as to stand up on its own I placed wooden 1 x 4's at the top from each to each until I had the entire yard crisscrossed with these. Then I stretched the small chicken wire across the top of the entire yard and fastened it to the boards thereby covering the entire chicken yard. I made the enclosed area high enough for me to walk under the overhead wire. This is a permanently enclosed area which the chickens will eat to bare ground in a short time. The chicken house was inside the enclosed area. In all the years I never had a predator enter the yard.

Loved Gina’s garden hair just don’t care. New yolk city girls might be laying some where else. Could you turn on the fence to keep them in and trim their wings? What about giving them some grubs? Egg production went up when you and Olivia did that. Sow the Land has a nice set up for their meat birds, check them out. You have a lot of wild life in your area so maybe a larger movable chicken tractor with wheels or a lift like Jason has. ❤️🐝🌻

When we had a fish tank my plants always loved when we changed the water..js..fish emulsion is the perfect fertilizer..stinky but awesome results...and if you do a true three sisters garden you bury a fish at each planting of corn, squash and beans...native folks def knew what they were doing
