Hi Tony

Your farm sounds like paradise and the name is just great!  We don't keep bees ourselves but a friend does and produces some splendid honey.  The place we live in is out in the country and is called "Cannards Grave" after an inn keeper called Cannard who was hanged a few hundred years ago for various crimes.  Not quite as nice as "Bee lick"! 

We just have a cottage with a long, narrow garden but we keep yarded goats in a converted garage and yard at the end of it.  Our goats are a rare breed - Golden Guernseys - and we try to produce a girl or two each year to sell on and help keep the breed going.  Only two adult females at the moment and a couple of female kids.  Yes - we milk the goats and I make hard and soft cheese (just for us as the regulations to sell cheese in the UK are horrendous).  We do however make and sell goats' milk soap.  We grow most of our own fruit and veg, eat any male kids at 12 months or so as well as eating the cheese and drinking the milk.  Wouldn't say we were self-sufficient but we do produce much of what we consume.

Nice to meet you too Tony!  Good luck with the bees and with goats and the cheese making!

Why, thank you very much for your kind words!  Yes - I did enjoy making the dulcijo and it doesn't sound too bad either.  As you've seen in the picture we also keep a few goats!

Fascinated by the name "Bee-Lick-Farm".  Do you have a farm and do you keep bees?
