Animal Care!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I discovered a newfound passion for raising animals, starting with a flock of chickens that I successfully hatched myself. This venture not only deepened my appreciation for animal husbandry but also allowed me to develop carpentry skills as I built a spacious backyard chicken coop. My curiosity didn’t stop there; I began researching the alarming decline in bee populations and felt compelled to take action. I started cultivating native California flowers to support local ecosystems and eventually ventured into beekeeping at a local homestead. There, I engaged in various activities, such as inspecting hives, monitoring honey production, and learning how to separate and manage colonies. This journey has been both fulfilling and enlightening, connecting me to nature in meaningful ways.
