I'm going to start a few seeds today. This year I'm going to slim down a little. I'll probably grow potatoes, corn, peanuts, watermelon, squash, okra, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, beans, tomatoes, and peppers. I have a pretty good compost pile now. It should be a good year.
I guess I'm just virtue signaling, but you never know. Some extra food might come in handy this year.
Yes, we're aware of that, but definitely thank you. I think the only way we'd go the honey route IS if we were doing through the government. I'm already tin foil hat enough, I definitely don't want to give them a direct reason to enter my life on a personal level in a negative way hahaha.
We're more just about the straight conservation in the end. Same with butterflies, if we could figure a way to keep butterflies where we are all year, we'd probably try that as well.
I believe though, in Canada, we have to somewhat go about it legally no matter what. We can buy bees from a private seller, but they, obviously have to be registered... which means, they're going to want to know where the bees are going. We'll find out soon enough ;)
Go find bees that have swarmed .but with technology nobody will be allowed to be self sufficient.
