HOPEFUL REBIRTH

This year provided a challenging and heart-felt adjustment in that we lost 5 of our 6 bee baby colonies over the winter which is always a heart-wrench. We believe the colonies were simply not sufficiently populated to keep the hives as warm as needed and then all varieties of varmints moved in – oh dear and what a disgusting mess! We engaged in a massive dismantle and clean endeavor.

The boxes remarkably did not need the power-washing we thought so we simply cleaned and decided to replace the spanking-clean empties in their former locations in hopes of attracting a rouge swarm. Neighbor Bree pitched in mightily to aid in that endeavor.

Here we are all ready for some friendly passers-by to take immediate occupancy – cross your wings and fingers for us!
