🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

I've seen a lot of bumble bees this year too. They find the flowers honey bees like first, it seems. I saw them on goldenrod and the asters before I saw our bees.

Found this one going after the Salvia a few days ago.

I want to get ours planted so bad. I need to be home to get that done though...lol

Yes, not a very good golfer but lots of fun with the wife and kids. Rare to catch bumblebees during mating season. Highlight of the game for me.

I'm not a very good golfer anymore. To many arm and wrist injuries. I keep trying. Right now, I just enjoy being out with my husband, who is a good golfer... since he retired it's his day job! I also like to go out with my friends.

I've never seen bumblebees mating, that really was a great catch.

Making 1:1 is easy. 2:1 not so much. What is the best way to make it? Would love to know what processes our experienced beekeepers use. Thank you!
