Hosted by Brian Tant, the BubbaTanicals Podcast seeks to inform and entertain. It leaves no stone unturned on the subject of operating a small farm and homestead. Nothing is taboo when it comes to Brian's irreverent narrative on nearly everything from crafts to chickens, fencing to farmers markets, gardening to goats, horses to home remedies, beekeeping, and everything in between.

In this BubbaTube, we open up a hive with all intention of swapping brood supers, but get a surprise in the process. We also replace some hardware that has come to the end of its life.

This is not a full springtime inspection, but rather just a quick peek under the hood so to speak to check on food stores, brood production, etc. A full spring inspection is much more comprehensive and would be done in warmer weather. The video is crappy. I shot it with the video camera on my blackberry kind of as a spur of the moment – hey this might be cool – sort of thing. Enjoy!

For those not familiar with the term, a stanchion is basically a milking stand that holds the goat in place while you milk it or perform other tasks such as hoof care, vet checks, etc. Awesome Job Josh! Thank you for sharing!

It’s just been a week of disastrous apocalyptic synchronicity. We dodged a bullet with the flooding, but a co-worker lost his house. Poof. Gone that quick. My wife is visiting her sister in New York so I’ve had to play Mr. Mom more than usual this week. And my neighbors barn exploded and went up in flames. No, seriously. Kaboom!

We managed to get about a hundred pounds of muscadines picked Saturday which was good. The steam juicer is ready to earn its keep, and I’ll have pics up in the gallery soon enough. We’ll probably have enough to do a run of muscadine wine. Woot!

Here’s a video of the barn I took while on the phone with 911.
