Right now, in the first weeks of October, millions of monarch butterflies are crossing Texas, and most people never notice. 🦋

Texas is the funnel. Monarchs leaving the northern United States and Canada converge into a corridor that runs down through the state toward the fir forests of central Mexico, where they spend the winter clustered on trunks by the thousands. The ones passing over your house this week will not make the return trip. It takes several generations to work the population back north in the spring.

They stop for frostweed, fall asters and whatever else is still blooming along a fence line, which is why a scrappy untended patch at the edge of a pasture matters more in October than a mowed lawn ever will. If you have been seeing more of them lately, you are standing in the middle of one of the longest insect migrations on earth.

Something to consider during the migration

Lights out for migration!

Every child knows a story about a very hungry caterpillar who ate and ate and then built a little house around herself and came out someone new.

The one on your milkweed right now is living it, and her version has a stranger ending than the book let on.

She is the last monarch generation of the year, and she is not like the ones before her. Her parents lived about five weeks. She will live eight months. Sometime this week she stops eating, climbs away from the chewed leaves, and hangs upside down in the shape of a letter J. By the next morning she is a green chrysalis trimmed in gold, and for ten days everything inside is taken apart and rebuilt into wings.

Then she does what no one in her family has ever done. She rises out of your yard and flies, alone, as far as three thousand miles, to a mountain forest in Mexico she has never seen, to winter in the fir trees with millions of others hanging like leaves.

Her great-grandchildren will be back on your milkweed in June.

Check the undersides of the leaves this week. Somewhere in there, a little house is going up. 🦋

I never know what music is going to be playing when I head out to she shop. 🤷‍♀️

Once the honey is spun out of the frames it’s drained into buckets. From there he will strain the honey and fill jars.

He pulls the frames from the hive, scores the beeswax and then spins the honey out

Hello everyone! The bees have been a bit moody so we are slowly pulling honey this week and will have more jarred and ready very soon- Sunday is likely.

Thanks for hanging in there with us!
