The Honey Factory

I will need two packages this spring.

I will go with the Alcatraz survivors again.

I am 90% sure my other hive died also.

It is 51°F today. The remaining hive of Italians proved they are still alive even after the -5°F of a couple of nights ago. They are out flying today. They have also cleaned off their landing strip of the dead bees they had been disposing of there.

If they make it another 3 weeks, I will start feeding them.

We had a day in the high 20’s. I walked out to the bees and found 4 dead bees within 5-6 ft from the good hive. We had snow this last week, the bees were on the top of the snow.

I think I have live bees still.

Mine were out flying this morning when it was still 42°F. Bee droppings everywhere.

I’m a bit late to the party, but following now. I’d like to do this if I had a bigger piece of orio

You only need about 4 sq ft.

Orio? Now my phones just makin’ stuff up.

I assumed that or it was Californian for land.

Honeybees love pumpkin blossoms. They are in heaven when they find those monster pollen grains.

At least you are located in an area where it is easy to get honeybees.
