Fresh Nectar..

The bees girls are busy at work, nectar is gathered and made into honey.  When the process is complete, the bees will cap each cell with wax to seal in the honey .  This is a frame showing the nectar in the wax cells before being finished and capped !

Poplar Blossom

The beautiful tulip poplar blossom - responsible for the red tint to our local honey.

Do you have what it takes to be a beekeeper ?

Tulip Poplars

Tulip poplar trees are our major local nectar source but they can get quite big so remember this when planting one.

 

Blackberries and bees !

Are you seeing the wild blackberry bushes in bloom along our roads ?  Good bee food !

The "rush" before the storm

My bees work feverishly before approaching thunderstorms.  Rushing to get that last bit of nectar or pollen before the rain.
