Around here the honey bees are working their butts off. The hive looks like a super highway at rush hour.
I thought the hive died off over the winter because nobody was stirring this spring. They got a real late start this year, but they are really making up for lost time.
We have lost quite a few hives here in the Appalachias, mainly due to greedy and lazy beekeepers. The diligent keepers insulated the hives to help keep the nasty winter out. Many people do not do such a good job keeping the mites from getting the upper hand. My hive is also on top of a shipping container; to keep the bears at bay and give them more morning sun. Two years ago I lost two hives to bears. Fortunately they rebuilt their colonys after getting put into new hives. The game comission finally trapped three bears within fifty feet of the hives.
Many keep moving their hives and the bees get lost on the way back home because of all the shifting. My hive never moves. We also did not take off so much honey last fall either. I only have three quarts of last fall's wild left right now. Considering their upkeep; the honey is mighty expensive. Still, those boys work hard for me and if I get no honey at all this year; I would consider their pollination work enough payback for the rent.
