Happy Spring everyone! By now, you are seeing hive activity and early indications that your colony survived. March is a critical time for the bees and it is important you check food supplies and supplement if needed. Most colony failures occur either in early fall or March/April. Supplemental food includes sugar bricks, fondant, and/or pollen patties.

If you did experience a colony loss, Max Martin is once again taking orders for bees from “Heritage Honeybees”. By now you should have received his email outlining packages, nucs and queens that will be available. Orders were requested by the end of February, but understanding that you may not know your total losses yet, he is willing to work with you. Please text or email Max your orders asap. Delivery will be late April or early May.
