Wow – snow flakes, icy cold temperatures, blustery wind and it feels more like Christmas then nearly mid March. It’s a bit of a strange feeling overall – the weather changed very quickly, which to me always means something.
Read MoreToday has been a busy one – we had our Bee Keeping class in Loughbeg Farm and it was fun – the kind of day when you feel pleasantly tired at the end of it and ready for rest.
Read MoreToday is a detox day – when you are doing a cleanse you just learn to recognize these dips, changes and shifts in your energy. For one thing I did not sleep well – loads of dark dreams and am feeling very tired today….
Read MoreFasting is as old as time itself – perhaps during our many thousands of years adapting to life here on this planet – we spent many days and weeks without much of anything to eat.
Read MoreBody, Mind and Soul - This is a term we all know and it gets flashed around a lot – has been for sometime in certain circles. The holistic industry uses it quite often, mostly to get across the message that their approach is different.
In fact, it’s so different from conventional medicine that this aspect needs to be pointed out. We are not one-dimensional beings – therefore our health and healing also should follow suit and deal with the whole person.
Read MoreToday I have loads of energy - it's as if another detox cycle has completed and I am once again on the upswing. I feel pretty good too - considering I am doing an intensive water fast for clearing parasites from my gut!
Read MoreOne search for images of Top Bar Hives on the internet will show you how many variations that have been developed in different regions of the world. It is nice to see so many beekeepers building and using Top Bar Hives, the interest has certainly grown exponentially over the last few years.
I have found that proper ventilation is key in Ireland to deal with the excess of rain that is a year round constant. Also being able to fit National frames into the box ease the start up or transition to Top Bar Beekeeping. Most of the hives I build are made from solid Larch, which is a long lasting timber that stands up to the local weather without much need for coatings. My hives are also free of any toxins, glues, paint, sealers or preservatives to provide a toxin free environment, essential to the health of the bees.
Read MoreThe standard beehive, as most people know, is a square box. This box contains all the latest and greatest in beekeeping technology, but still just an ugly square box. No wonder then, the growing interest in a hive that does not look like a box or even a hive for that matter.
Top Bar Hives buck the trend of sticking with what everybody else is doing. They are so different from standard commercial hives that most beekeepers scoff at the very idea that they could even work. When in fact, its the Top Bar Hive that has been around for hundreds of years and the commercial hives that are the new and strange way of beekeeping.
Read MoreWell, right now I am deeply into my parasite cleanse and only just realized that I haven’t talked a whole lot about parasites. It is a very interesting and timely topic, especially these days with bankers, religious leaders and what not living like lords….
Read MoreToday I am carrying on with my parasite cleanse and am feeling even better then yesterday. Perhaps I am on the upswing from a deep detox cycle – one thing that I am certain of though, is that this is working.
