And now, let’s all take a deep breath, and try to relax. It’s time for a quick trip to the apiary, and this time, to harvest more honey. Here are a few moments to spend with the bees.
We all have many journeys. Gary’s began in a small Midwest town, where he could play unfettered in the woods, finding an early love for nature and learning self-reliance. The space program and the night skies hooked him on astronomy. After finishing college, the wide world beckoned, and his fascination with science drew him to California to participate in the booming tech industry. Now he still stares upward, wondering what it all is about.
What a pleasure to watch this every week!
THANK YOU😎!
Really interesting that the bees do finally realize that they have more room for the honey. I like that gathering the honey doesn’t place a lot of stress on the bees.
No, it doesn’t stress them, unless, I might guess, if their honey is taken at the end of the year before winter, and they don’t have enough stores. That’s the reason for leaving them plenty – maybe 30+ lbs. – and then checking if any colony has an abundance, to spread it around more evenly if necessary.
