Beehive busy time!

It's the time of the year to thoroughly inspect your beehives. Now that the weather is warming up, and your honeybees are flying you need to make certain they have your support. It's important to check for pests and mites that can hinder or destroy a hive very quickly. Monitoring and keeping the pests under control allows the honeybees to focus on what they do best, make honey!
In this image we have the making of a new queen cell. Honeybees can determine when they need to replace an old queen or the queen has left the hive and they need a new one. All hail the queen! Without the queen no baby bees in the near future and the hive will fail. Honeybees are an intricate insect community, nature is amazing!!  Honey is a valuable commodity. Consider learning about becoming a beekeeper, find a club & learn as much as you can before you get your first hive. There are many support groups out there ready to assist. The rewards are delicious!!
