Finding good habitat for our honey bees can be a challenge for beekeepers as agriculture and cities gobble up all the natural resources around them. I am fortunate to have access to roughly 200 acres of rolling hills covered in forest that provides early spring blossoms, multiple fresh water springs as natural water sources for the bees, and several sprawling meadows as seen here. In late spring and early summer these meadows are covered in wildflowers with an undergrowth of white and yellow clover. The bees love it, and I couldn't be happier nor more thankful. 😍
