Looks great !! If anything just uncover it during the flowering stage. Those plants might outgrow those pots. (Just saying). They look super healthy and ready to explode. Maybe get a bunch of 200 gallons or 150 gallons

yarp...they are coming along now bro.
I have a spot in the garden that suffers from a neighbors irresponsible planting, eg she has planted a fucking huge silver birch tree, it borders my land, what was my veg garden has been ruined by falling seeds from the tree. Rather than shoot my neighbor and chainsaw the tree, i decided to move things. Yes its more work, but never the less also less tension ;-) So i have over the last two years being building organic matter and fungal mass. Once this years bee garden rots back, end of the summer, It should be sitting at about 1.5:1 F:B and so about ready for some over grown patio shrubs. I will move the robust shrubs that will stand their ground with the Birch and in turn the bacterial rich soil has been moved to a less stressful location, away from falling seeds :-)
fingers crossed all the plants and biology agree with this plan :-)

Al will ship you some bits this week bro. I have a rhizo pack, liquid Oxygen, Chtin and a new (part Yucca) part secret sauce LOL its a wetting agent and penetrator. I also have some nano Boron bro. It will replace a Nano breathe input on plants that are struggling after stress, eg high heat etc. The Boron helps the plant rebalance osmotic pressure in cells, so we can take more than just water on the warm days :-)

This is a shot of my Bee friendly zone, recently planted up with help from the lovely folks at 38 degrees, who are running a campaign to protect bees from awful pesticides and insecticides, from which bees have little natural defense.
In fact modern research has shown that in the wild, bees interact with fungus in order to trigger antibiotic systems to purge the bees of stresses accumulated during a day foraging for pollen.

The area here has an array of both bee friendly plants, vital fungus and a row of wild strawberries for the house and the birds :)
Over time, Continued use of BOX nutrients has left the soil showing signs of fungal dominance.
After analysis the ratio of fungus to bacteria by weight is @ 1.2:1.
I anticipate now the fungus have a good mass of organic matter, that they should begin to entirely dominate the profile, leaving it the perfect spot to plant up my shrubs once the bee garden has done it's job. The shrubs which are soon to outgrow the 50L containers they are now in will find the fungal mass very inviting. In the future, this area of the garden will be a health care centre for local bees. Somewhere they can come to accumulate pCumeric acid to activate their own bee defense systems.

We will be writing discussing the use of fungicides, insecticide and pesticides in the garden in an up coming blog. You may be surprised to learn just how bad this practice is for the land and so ultimately us.

Happy growing and if you can, consider your own bee friendly areas in your own gardens

my buddy has a bee farm in his backyard. maybe 3-4 rows 45 total boxes 3-4 high / queens .....

he has some fruit trees on his property so they dropped his taxes for ag zoning. i've helped him a few times lots of work ( winter hibernation prep ) and he even has stainless steel equipment for extracting etc, lots of stuff ( he needed a new shed just for the bee gear ). i hate bee's but they really do not bother you. it's crazy standing in the front of them as they zoom into and out of the area like an airport.

the real issue is you need someone to teach you all the tricks, making boxes and screens, it is very time consuming for him but he makes good coin on the blk market selling little jars and 5 gallon buckets full. farmers will pay money also for setting up boxes so he also travels with some during the summer. not many people doing it either -

he has something like this but made in the usa ....
Stainless steel 12 frames electric honey extractor

there are alot of responses here already. Ill just say the neighbor thing sucks but you do get that fresh new garden start. The weather here has finally ripened up. I will put my veggie garden together soon. Asap. Appreciate these convos. At least i dont run out of breath talking so much, fingers are tired or stoned. Later

cool, we have angry bees at the farm, I am not so good with bees, but I do love honey and chewing on Props.
I just felt obliged to try to do more in the light of the plight and usefulness of Mycos

Honestly love shrooms(magic) but with epilepsy I'm not really wanting to see if I'll not seize up. Had to put this, in the youth I did a lot of sh rooms and never had a bad trip. 5 gram cap sent me on a long walk. I sat down under a light and kept pulling my shrooms,weed,and money out of my pockets. One car drove by 3 times. Good time.
