Hot Under the Collar

No, not angry. At least, I’m not. But that sun sure is! Here’s a quick update on the state of things after last night’s storms, amid a heatwave.

Fall Bees

Saskatraz bees seem to be well-suited to Minnesota, so far. As they prepare for the upcoming winter, I keep the sugar syrup coming.

Orientation Flights

I’m more than a little concerned about swarming, as one of my colonies is building up so fast. Unnecessary concern? Maybe, but I’m going to continue to try to stay ahead of them with boxes.

Sugar Cakes

No-cook sugar cakes for cold-weather feeding of the beehive.

At Home

It’s the time of year to slow down a little, and enjoy what’s been coming to life.
