The Flow is ON !

My big Tulip poplars are starting to bloom in the top !  "The Flow" is on.  This is when our excess honey should be made - go bees !

Honeybees & blueberries

Freezing temps here this morning but the bees are working my blueberry bushes this afternoon.

Wild Cherry Blooming

Wild Cherry blossoms are brightening up the woodland - good food for our bees and now a freeze warning tonight... argh...

The piney woods on a warm spring afternoon...

I use dry pine needles for my bee smoker fuel.  With the impending rain I made a trip to the woods yesterday afternoon to gather some.  The temp was warm - the wonderful smell of a piney wood on a warm day will always seem like home to me.  I also found these beauties along the way.

Pussy Willows

Pussy Willows are such fun plants and they provide early pollen.  My bees love them.
