What colour did I paint my beehive?
In episode 20 I chatter on about bees and birds (poultry) while I try really hard not to get paint on myself

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE ON THE LIME GREEN SOFA. Love the choice of color for the bee box it is a very happy color brings joy and a smile. I really enjoy it when you are outside and the different sounds you can hear in the background. Learning about the bees and how they produce honey makes me really appreciate the wonderful local bee keepers that produce the Arkansas wildflower pure honey. Absolutely delicious, I use it in many of my recipes instead of sugar, much healthier and pure. I believe the Queen will love the color of the bee hive, because she wears very beautiful and colorful clothes. Another wonderful Sunday visit and I love it when you just chat about everything. I have learned so much from you and what you share.
Jackie Hill. HAPPY EASTER to you Jackie. This EASTER seams very strange on family no church just a sign of the times. Love to all on the LGS. 🥰
Happy Easter Jackie 💜💛💚❤️
What is the name of the paint colour..it looks like a pea colour
No skipping here. Every single vid you put up is wonderful for me. Love the colour of the hive. The talk about the bees is great because not everyone knows about bees and they are very important to our food supply, so important. Love the sounds at your place, just so peaceful. So happy! 🇨🇦❤️🙏✌️🐝
You give me a constant reminder that it’s the little everyday things that are important and give us pleasure. Thank you for being a virtual friend when we need human connection the most. Happy day!
Yes, Maria. I agree with you. Kate finds so much joy in all things she does no matter how small or how big the task. I need to work on that more for myself. She is quite wonderful.
Thanks for putting my feelings into words. Kate is a treaure. I could visit all day....😌
I like the color. I forgot we use to call that color acid yellow. Being a city girl I like hearing about the hens, bees & rooks. We don’t find you boring at all. Our grandsons are coming over today to sit on our driveway with tailgate chairs, six feet apart, of course, to visit for Easter. Sad not going to church or having a big dinner. But, we are all virus free so that is the main thing!!
Happy Easter everyone! 🐇🐣 🌸
Good Idea! Our lives need a bit of ingenuity right now!
Love it , bees are my thing
Sorry bees ARE not my thing
Love that color. I've always said that creative people are messy. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I’ve heard it said that bees are attracted to yellow, they’ll love their new home! The chicken and bee stories were very interesting. I enjoy your long chats, no need to edit😊. Thank you and blessings for a new week. Stay well.
I absolutely agree about not editing. The longer the better.
I agree as well. Kate you are such a wealth of information. Great trivia for all us city gals. I love to learn about nature.
Love hearing all your knowledge of hens bees etc.Your voice is so calming. I would like to thank all of you who wished my mum well (it meant a lot) so far so good not the dreaded Covid virus another infection hopefully improvement soon as she is on antibiotics and her carers keep us updated everyday.Again thank you for your kind thoughts at this weird time.
Hi Lynette, Best news all day!
You can ramble about anything and we love to listen and learn! I do love the color of the beehives! 🐝🥰
I don’t like painting but you sure Tom Sawyer’ed me with the acid yellow paint job. I wanted to get a brush and help and I would have stayed all day to hear your chicken and bee stories. So delightful! I never had grandparents( both my parents immigrated ) but listening to you ( and seeing you getting the paint off the cat), I imagine this is what it must be like. Please don’t edit your stories, and do tell us more. It was really interesting. Happy Easter!
Oh yes, please keep telling us bee stories. It’s fascinating. When you were telling of chickens originating in the jungle, all I could envision was a bunch of chickens in pith helmets😂
Wish we didn’t live worlds apart because I definitely would come and help you in the garden. I take orders very well.😁
Hi ya from NZ 😁💜💚😂 Love the colour of the hive and I love listening to you chat about this and that. Am I the only one who gets Kate fixes by rewatching old posts over and over again lol 😂
Love the color Kate and your chat. For a knit washcloth or dishcloth I do a knit 3 (or 2) then yarn over at the start of each row. Makes neat holes all along. Then knit 2, k2 together yarn over and k2 together for the decrease. Love the bird noises!
Yes I love it. I think the bees will love it. Thank you for the story of the hens
I wanted to say “Kate, there’s a drip going down the back...get it”, which is my single contribution to any painting project my husband does. Except, of course, I don’t call him Kate 😂.
Brook Prinsen oh I was watching with baited breath..hoping she would notice that drip, but alas...guess it was not important.
Hello Kate and everyone out there.
Love the color and all about your live and hobby's out there on the farm.
It's so nice to see you're video's, it makes me feel good 😊 so thank you for sharing with us and hope you stay safe and well.
greatings from the Netherlands as always to all of you lovely people out there.
🙋♀️🐝
I didn't think you have to edit anything. I love just listening to you, and feel as if you have become my granny substitute, if don't mind my saying so. I loved her lots, ànd miss her so. I always loved to listen to her because much like you, her conversations always led to avenues of new knowledge for me to explore, or bits and pieces for me to examine outside my own experiences.i do hope you don't mind being kind of adopted by me. Please stay safe in these perilous times.And I thank you for continuing to share your time with us all.
Hi Kate and hope you are having a Happy Easter. It is a very nice day, quite. The bee hive boxes look so nice, like summer. I like summer except for the heat. I wonder if this virus will mess up our summer! We were hoping to go camping more this year . Enjoy the rest of your EasterDay! See you soon, take care!
Lovely bright colour Kate, I am sure the bees will love it! Thank you for the chat, very relaxing watching you paint! Many blessings x
Hi Kate....the colour of that paint is EXACTLY the colour I envision when I think of the Lime Green Sofa!
I found you last week. What luck! What a glorious and fulfilling life you have! It has reinvigorated me to get back, more fully, into again doing those things I enjoy most. So now I am starting to watch your videos in order from the beginning. Thanks, Kate, for adding to the sunshine in my life! I’m 74 years young, live in the US - central Illinois. My tiller is out and I’m gonna put in my garden like I used to. And do lots of other things I used to. I’m feeling excited to get on with it ALL! So, thank you!
Fab colour Kate.. life's too precious to be beige!! Hugs Lynne xx
Love the color, so Spring like. It will shine when those dreaded rains come. I enjoyed your chickens and bees biology lessons, as well. Little known facts are so interesting. If we are to learn something new every day, I have a day to spare. Thank you!
I do not like to skip. I enjoy listening to you.
Shouting, “Yes, Kate!”, love the colour as I love all lime greens, lime olives, and even green camo.🇨🇦❤️🙏✌️🐝
The bees will love the colour!
Hello Kate and fellow sofa people. Love the paint colour for the hive. Can’t stop for long but stay safe, stay well, keep washing your hands and keep your distance. xxx
Thank you Kate, lovely to hear you witter on about bees for half an hour, with willow warblers and curlews in the background. Very soothing.
If you had told about the bees mating, then you would have told us the “birds and bees” story in one video.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Maggie Cottingham couldn't help but notice your surname my name was nee Cottington. Uncanny that isn't it? I come from Lancashire but the name is Irish and also comes from the Sussex area too. Much love take care Zandra Howard xx
LOLOLOL😂😂😂😂😂
It looks great. Will it go with the couch?
I love it!! HAHAHA
I love to hear you talk about bees. I had no idea what the life cycles of bees are. And I loved it when you took the honey out of hives last year. It was fascinating. Thanks.
Loving the paint drip.
I love that color. It speaks of sunshine and growing food.
Thanks for sharing Kate. It looks good.
How have the bees enjoyed their lime yellow hive over these past three years? It’s such a cheery spot of color in your wintry garden! I love it.
Well, i think the colour looks great, nice and cheerful
Hi. this was like watching paint dry lol. Loved the colour although i don't like green' the bees will see that colour for miles around' I panic if i see a swarm of bees but very interesting to hear about the workings of a beehive. Tfs. Hugs to all the pets :):):):)
Since I was raised on a farm, where we ate everything we grew or raised, I would have that rooster in the stew pot.
Two thumbs up 👍 I like the color and the stories. I agree with Claudia for chicken dinner 🥘
Claudia Lautenslager I agree. First thing I thought of when Kate asked!
Thank you lots for such a calming and fun visit outside enjoying nature and watching you paint such a happy color on the new hive. You never bore us. I sat here relaxing and chuckling at some of your comments. You are loved by so many. I enjoyed hearing your lessons on hens and bees. Always like learning something new. We are never too old for that. God bless. Stay well everyone.
Love the color, prettiest bee hive ever..if I were a bee I'd be happy to live there. Have a great evening, Kate.
What a coincidence countryfile had a brilliant piece on chickens you would like.
The bee hive is beautiful, smart and sunny. You chose well. Thank you for the bee talk, they are such interesting creatures. Your support is so wonderful over this period of anxiety, we all need the wonder of ordinary things in our lives. Take care Kate, and if you miss a day that is fine - don't get too tired, as we have all your other videos to keep us happy. Lucky us!
Love that bright cheery color! A bit of black strping, you'd have a giant bee. Lol. Happy Easter!!
It seems a lovely day there, perfect for painting outside and enjoying the sounds of nature. Thank you for a lovely chat!
No need to edit the "bee stuff" , I find it very interesting. Love the colour for the beehive!! Today I had a strange visitor on my balcony. A black flying creature, 4,5 cm long (pretty big!) , looking like a mixture between a bumblebee and a hornet. It was busy with the flowers on my rosemary. Now I am trying to find out what it is. By the way: I enjoy your "long rambly chats", you have inspired me to start some of my latest projects . Thank you for being just the way you are. Stay well, take care 🌸
I once shooed away such a creature, not sure about size as I didn't convert to inches. I went in the house and then could see it was a hummingbird! They like the flowering catmint by the window. All I could see close up was something I thought my sting me.
I’ve collected lots of yellow, golden yellow, and amber coloured papers to make a bee journal this spring. I dyed some papers with rusty sludge (Will share the recipe if anyone is interested) and they are wonderfully distressed yellows like coffee dyed paper. I will make the journal a celebration of beefiness.🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🇨🇦❤️🙏✌️
RavenStealstheNight, make up a container of 1cup white vinegar and 1 cup hydrogen peroxide and 2 tbs. salt. Soak iron nails, other iron objects, and metal things such as hinges, springs, auto part pieces, etc. After a few days the liquid gets rusty orange with sludge at the bottom. Swirl it around every now and then. Paint the sludge on paper or cloth or immerse in the sludge poured into a cake pan or aluminum pan. Double or make multiples of the recipe but keep the metal bits in it for future dying. Good luck and have fun. Oh, the rust can not only dye but leave a grainy residue on paper. I sprayed my papers with Workable Fixative like for charcoal or chalk pastel artwork.
@@DeerheartStudioArts You should really think about doing a video. This would be so fascinating. Thank you so much. 🤗
I’m shouting at you to tell you there’s a drip on this side!! 😂
Me too! Seeing the finished boxes looking so good I guess it really didn’t matter. Nice to know that others were painting with Kate.
I was too. Love the colour
Linda Chadwick me too!
Me too nearly dropped my tea and biscuits on the lime green sofa
Me too. I was waiting for her to go round to check if everypart was ok, but she didn't ! The result is perfect anyway.
February 3 2024 Maryland USA: Your video’s are so inspiring. You have quiet a bit of sound effects❤. It is so soothing and I am so enjoying it except the pest of a fly that is disrupting your talk with us on the lime green sofa. I love the frame of huge branches behind you. The color most certainly is you. You are so adorable like a child in a candy shop looking at all the goodies in huge glass jars. I do favor that color. The “noises” are natures way of keeping us company and soothing our restless souls.
That paint is so bright and happy!
it is a great colour, and the story about the eggs was interesting. great idea about lifting it up the box on the pots, must remember that, Isn't it lovely that the couch can come outside with you
Loving that chartreuse yellow!
I have never been around hens so it is always interesting to me when you tell us about them. And I loved hearing about the bees. I get honey from local beekeeper and now appreciate more what he does. Thank you so much for my place on the lime green sofa
I’ve learned stuff about bees and hens that I never knew - every day’s a school day! I love that you share your knowledge with us Kate 😊 We did an Easter egg hunt for the children today - it’s the 3rd year we’ve done one and they requested it because they love it so much 🥰 Clues were in the form of very close up photos of items around the house and garden, which led them to the next clue 😊👍 Happy Easter 🐣 to everyone on the LGS 🐣🐣
What a relaxing video today Kate, It was so interesting too, Thank you Kate Have a beauitful week x x
We love the rambly chats
Hello from California, everyone! Kate, thank you for sharing about bees. We had two swarms within the last month that settled in our Camphor Ficus tree that sits outside our patio. They formed a cluster on a branch for a few hours and then left. Could have been the scouts searching for a new location. Maybe they’re heading your way so, be on the lookout! 😂 Love the vibrant color and I’m sure the bees will too! Thank you for another beautiful chat!
In Canada we refer to "rooks" as crows. And yes, they can be very noisy indeed. The lime green is bold and striking. I do like it. Along with a bit of education on the hens. Years ago we took a bunch of eggs from another farmer which were fertilized and put them under our little red hen. She was the surrogate mother. (She was longing to be a mother hen) ha-ha but we had no rooster.
the colour is lovely,like a big buttercup x
I just watched paint dry and thoroughly enjoyed it with my cup of tea and bacon and egg sandwich. Love the colour by the way and love your interaction with all of us of LGS. cheers to everyone and stay safe xxxxx Love from Australia 🇦🇺 xxxx
Yes, sunshine in a box!
Hello, Kate! That color is LIFE! I love it. I loved watching this video and learning all about chickens and bees. I'm terrified of getting stung by a bee, but I think they are absolutely beautiful and essential creatures. I don't think people realize that without the bees, we wouldn't have food! Thanks for the video and know that I'll be here when you're able to film again. Be well!
Your yellow hive box makes me smile. All my dear friends on the sofa, please send prayers for my son. He has this hateful covid 19, he works in the medical field and is a volunteer fireman. He's very ill right now.
For what it's worth, that chair paint is _exactly_ what I was imagining, so yay for shed findings. ;-)
Also: Am I knitting while listening to you? Yes, I am. Please ramble on. I need more socks. ;-)
Kate, the Bee hive looks awesome! I think it looks perfect in that color.
Fascinating to hear about the lives of the bees and hens.
I am amazed, we just caught a swarm! I was watching you paint the super, thinking how neat my you paint, and my significant other shouted, "there's a swarm of bees down there!" Had to pause you and come back to finish your video and you are talking about swarms!!
I like the color! Very cheerful and watching you paint was so relaxing.
Oh, lovin the colour! xx
Hi Kate! I listened to the whole recording while sewing a binding on a quilt, by hand. I loved learning about the bees. Not at all boring. Also love the sound of the birds. This was a wonderful video. Thank you!
Now that is a story I really enjoyed and would be pleased to hear more.
I like the colour ! I know nothing about bees and hens, so everything you says about It's very interesting for me.
I was hopeful you'd have a yellow hue paint to use. It seems appropriate for Spring and bees and sunshine. It looks great. Take care.
Happy Easter, all! Norma always makes me smile. Kate, I learn so much for you. Thank you!
Love the color, it’s a favorite. I live in the woods, surrounded by green and yet I always want to see more! Love the lesson on hens😊
Love the color keep going.
Yes Kate...we like the colour xx lovely to see you. Take care all...love n hugs Dottie xx
Wonderful talk today! We had bees when husband was alive and we so enjoyed the 🍯 honey. Love the paint color!
I’m watching your video on Easter Sunday. Kate, I hope you have a wonderful Easter and once again, thank you so much for your videos. And, I actually think it is a very lovely color for a bee hive. Carry on!
Thank you for being you.. I love the color of the hive and you are so knowledgeable about things, I learn so much from you. thank you so much for sharing all you know.
Love the colors and think the bees will also. Blessed Easter greeting to you and everyone one on the sofa!
Oh Kate......the stories are wonderful. Today's lessons on the chickens and the bees was delightful. It is great to see you outside in your garden doing what you do. By the way, the sofa is very comfortable and the company even better! Please everyone, stay safe
I wanted to move my sewing room upstairs, and the spare bedroom downstairs. I also wanted to paint before I moved the bed down. Well, the walls were pealing, and I had to put on some plaster, so that had to come first, then paint, and yesterday my oldest daughter helped me put the bed downstairs. Now on to my new sewing room. It's hard for me to go step by step. I think of the idea, and want it done immediately. Really, patience is not my strong suit! Lovely day painting. We have snow on the ground. I want to finish the plant stand I started a couple of weeks ago. Hmm, another day.
I know that feeling! With me, to think is to act!
Hi Kathy, How ambitious and how satisfying when the job is complete.. I felt virtuous yesterday when I cleaned my bathroom from ceiling to floor.
Kathy Terrell Oh my! You put my feelings into words! Sometimes these do-it-yourself tasks turn into a more several step process! Enjoy your new sewing space!!!!
Eileen Dawson Thanks! I started to settle in last night, and am working on it again today. So satisfying!
I do that too when a new project starts- just want to get to the end not necessarily in the proper order!
I love it...color is perfect. Interesting information about bees. I am allergic to bee venom so the bees and I have been social distancing for many years but I do find them truly amazing and interesting.
Happy Easter everyone! Hope the Easter Bunny was good to your all! Oh my goodness Kate, you and I are so much alike. I also forget what I was talking about in the middle of a conversation! I love hearing about the hens, rooster, bees and Eileen. You should put the rooster in with a couple of hens and hatch out some little chicks. It is such fun seeing baby chicks. I also enjoy hearing all about the bees. We had a swarm here in our eve a number of years back. It was amazing getting up on the ladder and being nose to nose with them and watching them all huddled together and flapping their wings keeping the queen cool. We figured they came out of a load of firewood that was delivered to the house. A bee keeper came and got all the bees for his hive. Please don't edit out anything, as everything you talk about is very interesting.
I enjoyed your Bee and Hen stories...would love to hear more! Love the color BTW! A long chat such a nice diversion from the monotony of Self Quarantine! Stay well All! Great job Picasso!
LOVE the color. Hello to everyone on lime green sofa! I brought kitchen sink cookies to have with tea!
Ohhh! The beehive is going to look so cheerful in the garden! Or maybe as an end table next to the Lime Green Sofa! :)
i think it looks really nice the bees will love it.
I will listen to whatever you care to say, regardless of how long it takes. We are close in age and have many things in common; it’s nice to hear from someone with a similar frame of reference. So, witter on! I will be here listening and watching. Hugs from Maryland, USA.
Loving the corvids, too!
Happy Easter Kate! I love the yellow. Its my favorite color. My next quilt will be yellow. I really really enjoyed your chatting. It made me feel like I was out of my house. It seems we are going to be confined to our homes for a few more weeks. Thank Goodness I have a bunch of fabric, thread, batting and too many patterns!
My grandpa said the reason hens made that noise after laying an egg is because they’re glad it’s over.
Kate: I LOVE learning about the bees and the hens!!!!
I love those long rambly chats, as you say. I also totally enjoy your teaching us about things. Thanks.
Greetings from Arkansas, USA. I love your outdoor sounds. I also love your chatter about bees and birds and all your other subjects. I was raised on a farm, but have been gone for over 50 years. I miss it all.
How mesmerizing! I haven't been able to sleep for exactly 365 days when I had surgery for my second new knee but this might just put me off to sleep because 4 am is just too early for me to get up and start pottering.Thanks Kate, it's been fascinating,learning about chooks and bees and love that colour! Stay well.Kaye in Australia.
Go onto UA-cam and find a channel that has the sound of rain thunderstorms fire crackling in the fireplace or sound of the ocean or the sound of birds.
Go get your favorite perfume your favorite cologne and spray it around your pillow.
Place fresh set of sheets on the bed close all windows put a sleeping mask on .
Take a really hot shower lay in bed on your back fold your hands together on your chest and relax.
Sweet dreams my friend.💓
Thank you all for tips on insomnia. Believe me, I have tried them all.I suspect something in the anaesthetic upset my body clock, it certainly didnt work post operatively for pain, after 3 days on fentanyl I was in agony...so I am someone that drug doesnt work for.I think it's going to take time,patience and body work as suggested by Irene Lyon, Peter Levine et al.In the meantime, there's always UA-cam, so much excellent content like Kate,Bealtaine cottage etc.Stay safe, UA-cam friends.K in Australia.
Take your knitting out, Kate said and there I sat klicking away 🧶 😂 love the color for the 🐝 bees. In fact: we love the same colors: bright and much of it 🤩 💃🏻
Found the "birds and the bees talk" very interesting 😉 We have native bees in Australia, that's probably a broad statement to make, as I dont know a lot about bees ?
Love the color and being a city girl ,interesting information about the hens and the eggs
That 2nd coat just does it!!! Very nice job indeed.
Thank you for the lovely conversation about bees. I love that green and I love the "blochy" aspect. Take care xx
