Beehives

Hear in my review I will give you some information
about beehives and what they are met for. You
will learn a little of these beehives throughout
my review. Beehives are small huts for bees where
they produce honey and younger bees. Many
farmers make a living off of beehives because they
can make lots and lots of honey. Bees
make their honey from pollen. Pollen is very
sweet and it comes from plants. Bees store
this pollen in these hexagon holes which have a
shape of a tablet which is called a honeycomb.
Once the pollen is stored the bees liquefy the pollen
with their mouths and turn it into honey. Many
farmers have to destroy some of their beehives
to keep the bee population down so that they do not
spread any diseases and kill the crops. Beehives
can be made out of straw, clay or wood. It
must feel good to eat your own honey out of
your own hive. Maybe if we like bees we can
buy a hive and the bees to make honey and we
can sell the honey for money that must be a good
living if many people love honey. Bees only
come to the hive in the spring and summer
because those are the only times of the year
that the plants have pollen. Bees do not live
in the fall nor the winter because it's
to cold. Bees only live for a few weeks they
do not live very long. We must than wait till
next year to see those honey makers again.

Rhode Island Reds

The Rhode Island Reds are a breed of chickens.  They are a mixed breed: Rhode island red chickens developed in Rhode island in the 1830s, various breeds were used in their makeup, including malays, cochins and brown leghorns. the single combed variety was admitted to the apa's standard of perfection in 1904 and the rose combed birds a year later. Today the Rhode Island Reds and the Sussex are used for  many modern hybrid breeds.  In the beginning the flocks were often very small or made up of a single bird.  Rhode Island Reds were originally bred in Adamsville, Rhode Island. The hens are a deep rusty red color and weigh about 6 pounds.  Their eyes are red-orange, and their beaks are brown.  Their chicks are a light red color and weigh about 1 pound.  The Rooster is also a rusty color but bigger and weighs about 8.2 pounds. Rhode Island Reds don't wonder off that much like some other  breeds of chickens do.  They are nice birds but are tough and get quit angry and annoyed when provoked.  They are useful for laying eggs, providing meat, and also as pets. If you buy Rhode Island Reds for laying eggs the first year you will not get as many eggs.   The eggs  are larger and take the bird longer to make.   They will lay approximately 250-300 eggs a year.  It depends on how you treat them and also how much daylight they receive.  Nine hens lay about seven eggs a day.  In 1992, Americans donated funds for a monument, dedicated to the Rhode Island Reds, to be placed in Adamsville across from the Road Island Dinner restaurant and the baseball field.
