tickfoot<p>Despite some intense high winds, flooding rains, snow and ice the relocated apiary seems to be doing just fine. I'll be eager to pop in on a warm weather day to check on stores but by feeling weights when lifting each of these I think they're still sufficiently stocked. </p><p>All the beekeepers around here really push for getting the hives reduced down to a single box going into winter. After such a cold season I am once again glad I stuck to my instincts and kept them 2 boxes high. The middle has 3 and I know they won't use the entirety of their stores but I can pull from there and give to the other hives if need be. I am adamantly against the regular use of sugar feeding. In an emergency, sure, but not as a management plan. Sugar can't hold a candle to the nutritional value of what they produce for themselves. I want to steward healthy, resilient bees.</p><p><a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beekeeping</span></a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/beekeeper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beekeeper</span></a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homestead</span></a></p>

Solar 🌄Garden<p>Encouraged by discovering that, contrary to my expectations, these are a cool-weather crop, that just /sun-dries/ when the heat arrives, I'm going for some early test plantings that can stay covered until risk of frosts is over and / or discover whether light cork-oak cannopy is enough to protect them.</p><p>By far the biggest disincentives are their apparent straggly low cropping density and the shelling of the small pods. But that's about equally outweighed by the dislike of them only being available in tiny plastic consumer packs within my ebiking range and finding the occasional meal based on them particularly satisfying and healing. Having now got the gut flora sorted, they've stopped causing flatulence in me. Not mixing with other foods inclined to ferment, and giving at least a week's break between heavy legume meals are other things I've found effective.</p><p>Interested in hearing about more efficient diy harvesting / shelling techniques / constructables and whether / what kind of feeding in poor soil gives a worthwhile increase in kernel size, or just makes more stem and leaf / more small pods. </p><p>Looks like you've grown them <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://epicure.social/@Pollinators" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Pollinators</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/horta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horta</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homestead</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/growYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>growYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/chickpeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chickpeas</span></a></p>
