I love watching the native bees on our Bee Ranch. This leafcutter bee is cutting parts of the button bush leaves 🌿to make a home for her young.

Did you know that leafcutter bees are solitary? 🐝This bee will do all the jobs needed for her young to emerge next year.

And the damage to the button bush is only cosmetic. The plant is still strong and healthy.

We are seeing green tinted nectar and honey 🍯 in the beehives. When I opened the hives this week, they smelled so good! Sweet and floral. 🌸 The evergreen sumacs in the area are really putting on the blooms with the recent rains.

And when the evergreen sumacs bloom, we start seeing this green tinted honey. It’s really an amber to light amber color with a green tint in the right light. And it tastes like it smells. Sweet, floral, and a little tart. 🍯

This honey will stay with the bees as their winter food as there isn’t enough surplus to harvest. The bees are stocking their pantry for winter! 🐝🐝

We were out in the bee yards replacing worn out equipment today. Looks like we confused some of the returning foragers. I can just hear them now---Wait! I thought our front porch was purple or maybe pink?? How is it green? And where did the tunnel go?

Oh well…hmmm…Beekeeper improvements. I think they’ll figure it out pretty quick and appreciate the upgrades in winter.

Fall is here and the bees have been busy collecting pollen. Some of our fall plants have started blooming 🌼even with September's hot temperatures and no rainfall. This pollen will start brood rearing in the hive. They'll be busy making their winter bees🐝🐝.

I wish they would have asked me before they remodeled. 🐝🐝 Guess I'll need to add a bottom board to the list of what to bring next time.
