Simple DIY Safe Water For Bees

A simple drinking station for our bees. 

We are learning how to be good stewards to the earth.

We can provide bees with a safe place to drink. They risk their lives for a sip of life giving water. Many bees drown in water bowls, pools, rivers and streams.

Take a shallow bowl and fill it with rocks or marbles. Pour in enough water so the tops of the rocks are exposed and dry. Bees can easily get a good footing on the rocks as they take a drink. Little pools will form inbetween the rocks or marbles and that makes for happy safe watering holes for our beloved bees.

Easy Peel Eggs

Easy Peel Steamed Fresh Eggs

Did you know freshly laid farm eggs can be almost impossible to peel if you hard boil them?

Here is the solution.

Steam them instead.

note: ( your time may vary so test an egg by plunging it in cold water peel and open to see the yolk is done)

1. Place one layer of eggs in an empty 4 quart saucepan till they are cozy. I was able to put in a dozen eggs.
2. Fill the pan of eggs with 1" of water
3. Bring to a soft boil then cover with a lid. Steam chicken eggs for 15 minutes and duck eggs for 17 minutes.
4. Plunge into a bowl of cold water and ice cubes then peel.

I have found peeling immediately after steaming and plunging in ice water gives me the easiest peel.

Here is a delicious recipe for Avocado Deviled Eggs. Yum *
