#1 ◱ Bees and possibly yellow jackets were going into the side of the hive.

#2 ◱ Lois filled the holes with marshmallows as a temporary fix and covered the hive with a blanket. Later Joseph checked the bees.

#3 ◱ We decided to put more sugar water into the hive. Lois made it, and Joseph filled it.

#4 ◱ Joseph adds sugar water to the beehive.

#5 ◱ We noticed that there are a lot of ants in the hive.

#6 ◱ then Joseph put the blankets back over the hive.

#7 ◱ Two ducks remain. They are hiding and resting.

#8 ◱ Lois seeds the east pasture so it will become a lovely lawn area.

#16 ◱ Letting down the roll bar.

#17 ◱ The Chickery is wide enough for the tractor, but we have to hold up the grass deflector.

#18 ◱ Lois mitres the fabric.

#19 ◱ The hardware cloth fabric is to keep moles and other critters from getting into the Chickery.
