These ladies are so hot they are hanging out in a cluster on the front of their hive. It is called "bearding." Can you guess why? We brought them some watermelon as a treat this evening to help them cool off.

It may be called "festooning," but I call it a "daisy chain." Either way, the way bees work is absolutely miraculous!

Consider planting some bee-friendly flowers and offering a water source for our pollinator friends, especially as the summer gets hotter.

Have you heard the buzz? It's WORLD BEE DAY! 🐝🐝🐝 The world simply wouldn't be the same without our fuzzy little striped pollinators. From hives of honey-producing bumblebees, to native solitary power-pollinators, bees are every gardener's best friend. Happy Bee Day! 🐝🐝🐝Almanac.com/beekeeping-101-getting-started-planning-for-bees

Well, it has been a rough week for some of our bees. They suffered a bear attack, not once, but three times in our yard this week (one of those times in the pouring rain). We decided to relocate them this evening. They are now on the property of some nearby friends, along with our other bees. Those girls are survivors, and we hope they aren't too traumatized to stay in their new location.

Why do bees have sticky hair?

A: Because they use honey combs. 🍯 🐝🤣

We've been seeing activity in the hives, and we left all the honey for the bees this past year, so we are hoping for an earlier honey harvest this year! We have more hives to visit, but we're hopeful!

When these cold temperatures dip into low double digits and even single digits, you may wonder how honeybees can survive. Here is some great information on how they do it, from pushing drones out of the hive in late fall to shivering/vibrating in a cluster to keep warm. Check it out!

Winter survival is a team effort for honey bees. Together, they huddle, shiver, and feed on honey to keep warm until spring.
