Happy Bees!

With the warm weather, flowers in bloom, and careful monitoring, our 3 beehives are thriving.  We started with about 15,000 bees (about 5,000 per hive), and now our best guess is that we have over 30,000 bees!  After our first 2 hives absconded last year, Rob and John have invited Andrea Ramaeker and her mentor, Emily, to check in on our bees to make sure they’re okay. 

The bees are busy making honey and taking care of the queens.  The worker bees spend their short lives searching for pollen and keeping the queen happy and safe.  When they fill up these hives with honey, we’ll add our Flow Hives. Cross your fingers that we can keep these bees through the winter.  Just think, we’ll have honey for all of our family and friends!
