This Photo of the Day comes to us via Cory Reamer, who reports, “The honey bees are very active this year, which means the fruit trees should be getting plenty of pollination. I have never seen so many split hives as I have seen this year. Three large splits just on our 40 acres.”
Thanks for the report, Cory! All good news, not only for the farmers, but for anyone worried about the honey bees. I’ll add that when I’ve been out taking pictures, the bees seem to be in good supply.
Yikes! Where are these swarms? I thought I could hear a swarm nearby our place, in the back yard. Would hate to stumble upon this sight!
I think up on Heather and Cory’s, near Mapleton!
Hi, are you here? Or the 2nd?
I think this might be for you, Lisa LaBonte. 🙂 – JB
