Original Transplants

Episode 22 of the Original Transplants Podcast features Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will providing a long overdue update from the apiary, chicken coop and edible landscape. Will wards off chipmunks, yellow jackets and varroa mites from the hives while trying to locate a local drone congregation area with the Chester County Beekeepers Association and contributing to the Zombees citizen science project. Sarah explains how to care for a molting hen and her twist on the Waldorf Salad featuring Satoyama Homestead annuals from the edible landscape. The stewards relay their recent homestead chores and fun and discuss stories from Lancaster Farming on the state of Pennsylvania corn silage and bees deployed as elephant control on farms in Thailand.
