Beginning to nest

NOTE: This post is 3 years old but never published so doing that now to keep posts in one place and none in draft mode.

I feel myself beginning to look at recipes.  I'm ready to cook and spent my weekend doing just that. I had a pumpkin that, now that Halloween was over, cook it up.  So I cut it into pieces that fit on 3 pans in the oven and baked them until soft.  Then scooped out the pumpkin, blended it and I was ready to go. I made pumpkin spice soup, pumpkin rolls, and pumpkin ravioli.

Real cold is coming this week where the nights will be below freezing.  I will be insulating my hives this coming weekend. I did add the cedar pillows to the top which helps some but, especially, the small hive, will need the insulation.

I have seen no bear so far this season.  I see signs he's been around with logs clawed to shreds with them looking for grubs or whatever. But  no damage to the greenhouse or bee fence...keeping my fingers crossed.
