Honey bee on a apple blossom 2008.

Honey is Ross's "comfort food" He has been working since Christmas to get new honey bee hives ready for the spring. He is observing his bees all year around and calling his Bee Mentor Tom. They compare notes on weather temp, blooming plants, swarms, rain, etc. There is more work to bees than people think. Honey bees are fascinating. Some of the hives he and Tom have collected honey from have weighed as much as 120 pounds. Even our dog Pearl knows the word "bees" and where to find the hives on the farm. We check on the hives everyday and Pearl leads the way.
