Neighborhood kids are great for hops!

[Bierliebhaber]

My back yard is crawling with lady beetles, after the neighborhood kids spent the afternoon collecting and relocating the little ladies onto my hops plants. Win-win, they had fun collecting; I get an army to fight aphids and mites.

my lil brewers assistant and her friend do the same. bring ladybugs from all parts of the yard over to the hops to "get the best ladybug snacks".

Now all you have to do is convince them that cleaning bottles is a fun thing to do...

Mine thinks its fun but I dont like a 3.5 yr old playing with bottles. Hopefully in a few more years this will all still be fun
