🍯 Spring hit ASKA: the Hearth & Honey update lets vikings BREW honey & mead. Expeditions to swamp isles hunt wild hives, the craft grows into tavern culture and taverns can be upgraded to 3.

New warehouse stats make tracking supplies easy; hunters can now venture into mines and face crawling creatures, so underground runs are noticeably more dangerous.

My neighbour has taken up bee-keeping. A few weeks ago he bought over some honeycombs. I left it sit on my kitchen bench for a few weeks. Occasionally I would open the container and scoop up some honey with my fingers. But today I started googling how to separate the honey from the beeswax. Unless the neighbour starts giving me a lot more it probably won't be worth too much effort. I think I ended up with about 200ml of honey. And I know for certain that there is no added sugar, unlike those supermarket brands .

Hive hopes: Northern Alberta beekeepers optimistic after years of low honey yields
Apiaries in northern Alberta have experienced challenging seasons for their bees in recent years. The Peace region suffered a 52 per cent drop in honey yields in 2024. Beekeepers are hoping this turns around when harvest rolls around this summer.

OK Googly gals and guyz,

It is well past my #breakfast time. Gotta see wot is in the cupboard. I might 'ave some of that qood quality #hamster food (aka #Muesli, no sugar or salt - sweetened with dried fruit)

Maybe a couple of eggs over easy as they say in #USA (Universal Sexist Ape-men). In the #UK they are #factory #farmed. Sorry chicks. With lions printed on them. That's right #Lion eggs. Delish with baked beans...

Oh wait have some home made #sourdough bread. That sounds good with tahini, Forest #honey and coffee...

Decisions. Decisions. Will make them whilst I still can-can...

Guess what!
I am officially in the world of beekeeping! 🐝
My dad has been a beekeeper my whole life, and he gave me an empty bee box. A wild swarm of honeybees was on my property and we have safely got the queen and the other bees into the box 🌷

My next order of business is to plant flowers
