Happy world honeybee day! Last week we had a storm come through and I was able to rescue a hive from a tree that came down. Once the hive was opened and I gave them some eggs from another hive, they moved right into the yellow nuc box to care for them. It was awesome to share about bees with the neighbors who came out to watch and a great experience trying to save a natural hive that had come into distress. If that have head swarmed away because their hive had been broken , they probably would not have survived winter because they would not have time to store honey in the fall in a great enough amount.
