A new home for the bees

Well, it's that time of year again, the bees are swarming looking for a home.
We found a swarm today on our property, Sequit Falls Ranch in Malibu.
Gary suited up and was off to work.
First he sprayed the swarm with a little water to keep them together and then he cut the branch the swarm was on and shook them into a box. We then took them to the spot where we had our bee hive set up. In the shade of some trees, up off the ground and near a water supply. All things the bees appreciate.
Next we put a sheet down right next to the entrance of the bee hive and shook them onto the sheet. It was fascinating to see, the bees walk right into their new home.










Home sweet home!

Soapie's adventures

Soapie was chilling Memorial Day weekend.

"Soapie" the Monkey

Hi,
Wanted to introduce everyone to "Soapie" the monkey. Soapie is included in our vegan baby baskets and our vegan Mommie and Me baskets. Soapie is made of cotton blend or bamboo yarn and has hyper allergenic stuffing. He's hand knit in England and is sure to become every little one's favorite.
Watch for Soapie's adventures!
