New Hive Delivery.jpg

It's always fun in the Spring when we our partner Steve brings us fresh new Queens and some new beehives. We've got about a dozen new colonies that arrived last week, and when you step into our yard, you can smell fresh honey in progress. Here's Steve helping our new girls to settle in. They're quite happy here! I see them alighting upon so many different blossoms. They're especially fond of the Sweet Almond Bush, which has an intoxicating aroma. They don't bother much with the Gardenias, which are also in bloom. So between the ripening honey, the Sweet Almond Blossoms, and the Gardenias, strolling out back is an aromatic experience. And the next honey harvest? Just a few weeks away! Thankfully we've got plenty of Orange Blossom and Wildflower to tide us over until then...
