Dear daughter, you have prayed for this and it is indeed manifesting. We have drawn these dear souls together to help anchor and intensify the light in the portal that is here. Many are coming to benefit from the blessings that have been established and are being established in this place. So we begin the work that is intended, part of God's plan, part of God's Will. And so you will feel the blessings as we, many of us from the Celestial Kingdom enter therein, this place, humble yet beautiful, that has the gift of drawing the healing energies from the Earth.

We thank you for coming and we pray with you. The conditions will build as you pray and so we urge you to pray as often as you can together. Though your numbers are small, the power of your prayers is great. So God will utilize your instrumentalities, your very being, to help set into motion what is intended and what God wishes to bring to this place on Earth where the energies meet and the blessings come readily. May God bless you, beloved souls, may God bless you deeply, fully, powerfully in His Love.

Beekeeping has ended temporarily...

 With both hives dying out and myself having become seriously allergic to bee stings, I've decided to stop having active hives for awhile. Now I've moved on with a new project of rehabilitating an old farm, 5 acres half wooded, in the hills above Dallas Oregon, a part of the mid-Willamette Valley here in Oregon, USA.

I'll post a few pictures and some videos to show you the beginning, summer 2021. I envision a lovely farm cottage with surrounding gardens, although not too extensive, and the forest with walking trails and a few tent sites for adventuresome nights. Stay tuned!

 All was not well--both hives died out. No bees flying on 50+ degree days so I looked more closely than in February. Very few dead bees found, some with heads in comb as if eating honey. Not sure of the cause although I wonder if there were just not enough at the end of the season for provide the warmth needed. Plenty of food stores for them which I harvested during March.

Since I appear to be highly allergic to bee stings, I'm storing the three hives for now and will resume beekeeping sometime in the future...

 February 10, 2021 Hive Check

Hmmm, bright sunny day, 49 degrees, no breeze...so I opened the long hive and see no activity and top of frames feels cool, not cold though. I looked at three end frames and found the one closest in to be full of honey on both sides, the second out was 2/3 full and the third or last had about 5" of semi-circular empty comb. I didn't want to go into the core of the hive so put attic wool cover back and closed it up. I am hopeful all is well--we shall see come spring. No mold, no unusual activity by other insects.


The entrance of the Langstroth hive is sealed by the bees themselves, except for two small holes which were there last fall.  I'm attaching a photo. No activity and it's quite complicated to open the hive with the winter insulation and covering.

Fall 2020 Bee hive attic insulation installed

 Freezing temperatures tonight so time to install the wool rug on the long hive and the wool packing and foam insulation on the Langstroth hive. Done! When daytime temps drop significantly here in Bend Oregon I will wrap the sides of the hives with foam insulation and cover them with plastic, leaving air vents for a little circulation.

Bees in Langstroth hive has filled the 2nd deep with comb and honey so there should be enough for winter. I will remove that box during late spring, May here, and add a deep to the bottom so the bees can draw new comb for the brood area, which they keep in the lowest box.

The bees in the long hive had comb in 14 frames with the last two being partially completed. The second to the last frame had one side capped honey and the other side with nectar and the last one had about 1/4 filled with empty comb. I may remove those two when temps drop so there's not so much space to heat. To be decided later.

Bees seem healthy although the number flying during these 50-60 degree days seem low. We will see how they winter; hope there are enough to keep the cluster warm enough this winter.
