Caught a couple of monarch caterpillar transformations on video. 8 of the ten are now in chrysalis form for about two weeks. Such an amazing process. #permaculture #homestead #insectagram #butterfly #monarchbutterfly #savethemonarchs #nospray #chemicalfree

I love my bees! I placed a few pieces of old honeycomb, including a queen cell (with powerful pheromones no doubt) next to the results of my solar melted wax. Within a minute this little bee arrived to inspect it. She kissed the freshly molded wax too. #beekeeping #beeswax #queenbee #urbanbeekeeping #homestead #permaculture #biodynamics #castingcall

Borrowed a solar oven from @trathenheckman of @dailyacts to melt down some comb. Used a paint strainer bag to catch the debris. Will use the wax for salves. #urbanbeekeeping #homestead #permaculture #sharingeconomy #beeswax #helpasisterout #balm #medicinal #solaroven #solar

Planting clematis for bee forage. Have a couple of winter-blooming evergreens too for December to March flowers (not this lovely late summer bloom). #flowers #homestead #urbanbeekeeping #permaculture #bees #beekeeping #garden #purple

Our commissioned hive supers from @izzabellabeez are a neighborhood favorite. The close proximity of the hives to the public made me want to make them well-received through fun, happy colors. It worked. Never a negative complaint. The only questions we get are, “When will the honey be available?” and “What can I plant for bees?”. #beekeeping #beehive #bees #owls #tara #ommanipadmehumā̐ #ommanipadmehum #permaculture #homestead #biodynamic #urbanbeekeeping #petaluma #art
