On the warm days of March and April the bees will be looking for food. The first main nectar source in our area is dandelions which start to bloom around April 20th. With this years weather they will probably start to bloom earlier.
The bees are cleaning the cells to prepare them for this seasons nectar and brood. Working 24 hours a day.
Egg laying activity is picking up and she will lay enough eggs based on the food collected. Pollen is needed to feed the young.
Winding down our winter indoor market season and getting ready for new bees to arrive. Our winter survival was excellent and we will have more bees this year than the previous seasons. Getting organized in March and April make the bee and market seasons run much smoother. A visit with all our children and grandchildren is always a blessing. Happy Easter to All! Many Blessings
