What are the Bees up to this month
Bee Activity
Bees are looking for nectar on the warmer days. They won't find much until dandelions begin tom bloom.
Honeybees do not hibernate. They exercise their wing muscles without moving their wings which generates a lot of heat. This keeps the small amount of brood warm and keeps their honey from freezing

April is one of the busiest times with the bees. Cleaning hives, repairing equipment and preparing hives for the new bees that arrive in May. Not many farmers market but lots of bottling as we prepare for St Paul markets
