Easter Egg Hunts, trips to the market, update on our shower block – another busy week here at Humble Bee Farm!
Although the weather wasn’t spectacular, we were lucky enough to have a busy Easter and our younger guests enjoyed the traditional Easter Egg Hunt organised by a visiting rally, the Conway Owners Club. Our younger visitors also had the pleasure of finding the usual fresh eggs that our free range hens produce on a regular basis!
Our visitors also found out that the calving season is still underway, while on Friday, it was a big day for our fat cattle: it was the day they went to market. Two wagon loads left Humble Bee Farm, with our two Jack Russells, Charlie and Spot, watching with eager eyes.
Birds around the farm are busy building nests for the spring season: however, we do have a lonely duck that none of the others seem to want in their midst. He often wanders on his own around the duck pond, and pays us a visit at our reception. Fortunately, our younger visitors help keep him company.
The shower block is still ongoing and we are hoping to be able to stick to our May deadline. The pathways have now been dug and laid, and we’ve chosen the flooring materials for the interior of the shower block itself.
We’ve had some spectacular spring sunsets over the last few evenings: Sunday’s was a beautiful one, with bright oranges and reds being cast by the sun as it set behind the Wolds hills. As night falls, we can hear the owls begin their nightly calls and hunting tactics.
Truly, there is never a dull moment here at Humble Bee Farm – more next week.
