Things become other things

Made today:

1)Blueberry ice cream from U-Pick blueberries

2)Gumbo from many many vegetables from the farmshare and shrimp and chicken that really needed to come out of the freezer

3)Marinara sauce from all the tomatoes that were still left after making a vat of gumbo and basil and parsley from the farmshare

4)Three containers of lavender balm using scraps of beeswax from the hive.

Yay.

Inside the hive

bard_bloom says I should show you guys a picture that I took during a hive inspection today. It's the first time I've taken a camera out to the hive when I've been in there, and this was mostly to help me figure out what's going on in there, but maybe you are curious.

In any case, you can see some little bee faces just about ready to emerge from their cells, and some little bee butts where the bees are working inside the cells.
