The view from atop my first bluebonnet! It is feeling like spring is finally here. Nights are still a bit cool, but days are warming up rapidly here on the farm. The bee hives are in a sea of pink phlox...
And these yellow flowers are all a buzzin!
We are so excited to be splitting our hives this year. in the picture you can see we have two types of hives, one is a traditional hive and the other is a top bar bee hive. my hubster built the top bar hive, and hopes to do an even better one this year. That will bring us up to 4 hives with splits..and did I mention the wild hive in the back of our woods? It is in an old gas tank and he is planning on cutting it out and re-homing it in another hive. I think we will film that! Either way it is one step closer to having enough honey to supply ourselves with sweetener and be able to sell some as well.
So get outside and take a few deep breaths of springtime... and if you are somewhere cold just hang in there... Springtime is on its way!
