Life at the Apiary After the Holidays
Golden Week has come to an end, and everyday life has returned to normal in town — but at the apiary, our busiest season is still in full swing.
For honeybees, this is an especially important time of year, as the season of reproduction begins.
Strong colonies start raising new queens and prepare for “swarming,” a natural process of renewal and generational transition.
At the same time, this is also one of the most important seasons for beekeepers.
From spring to early summer, when flowers are rich with nectar, the bees work hard to produce honey.
These two realities are deeply intertwined, and balancing them is never simple.
As we continue striving toward “sustainable beekeeping,” we are always searching for ways that allow honeybees to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
For swarms that leave for the natural world, a difficult reality awaits them.
That is why we try to provide a safe environment where queens and colonies that wish to swarm can live out their lives peacefully, while we quietly watch over them.
