So I have tried really hard to get my brother-in-law involved in beekeeping. He has thought about it and has the equipment to do so but no bees. So I gave him a tour of my hives while I was doing my inspection. I was great to bond with a family member over something you are very compassionate about.
All the hives are doing great. Im really excited about our newest hive we have started and we are still waiting on the queen to arrive. She should be shipping out tomorrow. I added the feeders back on top of the hives just cause the tulip poplar did not last long and the ladies harvest all the clover they could out of our clover patch. With that being said, Dad cultivated the entire clover patch and we are going to start our buckwheat. Buckwheat is very desirable to the bees and make a dark honey. This can be grown all the way up to the first frost.
