New Beginnings...

As the new year begins, the Queen bees will be beginning to lay a few eggs.  The number will increase as the year progresses and some early nectar becomes available.  In our area (upstate SC) bee will collect pollen and nectar from Red Maple Trees.  (You may see the maple trees starting to swell with red buds..even now).  This pollen/nectar will be used to raise baby bees !
