How To Build A €1000 Eco-Home In Just 100 Hours! Landblog/Houseblog. Swarms-- 16 May 2014 -- So the bees came through winter with many combs of honey in reserve.
I didn't harvest any of it because I wanted to make sure they would be ready to swarm this year so that I could do a split and have two hives. I figured it would take them a few months to build up their population enough to swarm, and some time in early May I would do an inspection and look for queen cells. If I found them, I would find the queen, move the queen and about half the combs into the #2 hive, keep all the combs with queen cells in the #1 hive, and also put some branches around the entrances to the #2 hive so the bees would re-orient and not go back to the #1 hive. So the bees feel like they've swarmed without actually swarming.
In late April, they swarmed. I could just barely touch the branch without falling off the ladder, so the best I could do was give it a shake, catch most of the bees in the bucket, carry them to the #2 hive, dump them in, and replace the bars on top. $300 Underground Greenhouse Grows Food Year Round; An Extraordinary Walipini. Posted Categories: Green From vertical farms to solar-powered “farms from a box,” we’ve seen how farming technology has grown leaps and bounds in recent years.
But for those who prefer something a little more rustic, growing food from a hole in the ground is as low-tech as you can get. A walipini, meaning “place of warmth” from the Amaraya Indian language, is an underground greenhouse with a transparent (usually plastic) covering that stays warm by passively soaking up the sun’s heat and absorbing the earth’s thermal energy. Fruits and vegetables can be grown year-round, making it ideal for communities in colder locations that can’t usually grow their own fresh and local produce during certain parts of the year. The farming method isn’t exactly new. The technique was notably adopted by The Benson Institute, a worldwide food security program of the Mormon church. The institute published a DIY manual on how to build such a structure. Ecological Land Co-operative.
We believe that the creation of sustainable rural livelihoods is one of the best solutions to our most pressing environmental and social problems.
Small-scale ecological production protects the environment and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by reducing fossil fuel use. Such businesses help build a vibrant, living countryside in which humans flourish alongside our cherished landscapes and natural biodiversity, and have a crucial role to play in ensuring food and energy security. They also provide employment, access to local, sustainable food and crafts and educational opportunities for urban visitors, helping to maintain rural skills and to improve ecological literacy. Such small scale enterprises also allow residents to be rooted in their rural locality, helping maintain and regenerate rural communities and the services upon which they depend such as local schools and shops.
