The cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The honeybee colony, having overcome the return of the cold, is busier than ever. The queen bee lays about 2,000 eggs each day, young worker bees feed them and expand the comb with beeswax, while forager bees actively come and go, gathering pollen and nectar.
At this time of year, the bees are focused on increasing their numbers, flying around with a gentle hum. Soon, the honey will be ready. I can’t wait! What kind of fragrance will this spring’s honey bring us?
