This year we put a couple hives in a more productive area to determine whether or not we should move the whole operation next year, compared to our hives in the Prarie this 8s so great to see in my hives again
I borrow against cash using Shared Secured Loans with our credit union, rates are 3% over what the dividend rate is. I use this to manage recurring annual expenses to ensure I have the capitol on hand the following year to make the purchase again. I intend to use it for future vehicle purchases as well, 3% is half pr less of going rate for vehicle loan and when it's "paid off" the cash is available for the next vehicle. If a payment cannot be made, I can forfeit that payments value from the loan with no hit to credit
Speaking of AI, i know there has got to be some good open source LLMs out there, I have been fooling with Microsoft copilot since its already downloaded on my computer but it feels like a betrayal of my tech bro side

Sup Nostr peeps!
First, a confession: I am a serial procrastinator, particularly with any sort of web or computer work. Which has proven detrimental to my farm newsletter and other content creati9n activities online...
And thus, my journey with utilizing AI to generate content continues. below is this week's newsletter converted to a Nostr post:
🐝 Buzzing Into the Season: Lessons from the Apiary 🌿⚡
Spring is in full swing, and our bees are deep in the hustle—expanding hives, optimizing honey production, and making the most of every nectar flow.
This year, we installed five new packages, hoping to bring our hive count to eight. But, just like in homesteading or life, plans don’t always go as expected. Two new hives successfully established—one from a typical package, the other a unique colony merger.
✨ Current Hive Count: 5 active hives
🏡 Homa Hills: Trialing a Demaree split to boost honey production
🌾 Webb Creek: Testing productivity to see if the travel is worth it
Bees, like humans, work tirelessly to store and protect their wealth. Their honey is their hard money—produced through effort, stored for the future, and protected from external threats. In the same way, Bitcoin and gold represent human effort crystallized into sound money—scarce, valuable, and independent of manipulation.
We’ll see how this season unfolds, just as we watch sound money play out over time. Meanwhile, we’re here in the field—learning, adjusting, and stacking our honey reserves. 🍯⚡
