For most of the country, this winter has been snowy and cold, but in western Washington state, the weather has been mild. As a beekeeper, this is both a blessing and a problem.
Read MoreI don’t just write survival or prepper-themed books, I live the life.
Many of the people who aren’t involved in prepping think of those who are as crazy. I think of prepping as insurance against unforeseen problems.
