The over 1,000 bulbs we’ve planted in the yard are providing much-needed nutrition for growing honey bee colonies. We find them beautiful, but we won’t be mowing for a bit … sorry neighbors! But if we could all not mow for a bit, that would let dandelions–a key nutrition source for pollinators–flourish. Please? It’ll be better for the planet …
Can you tell beekeepers live here? 🙂
We’re getting calls about spring issues. I’ve recently posted a blog on my site that covers some of the common questions, you can check it out here. It covers things like cleaning up a dead-out, spring feeding (please don’t mow dandelions) and installation.
There are SO many key checks and considerations into a successful colony start, and the learning curve is steep. Please don’t hesitate to leave a comment here, or on my site, or contact me via cell or email if I can help. The world needs bees, but it also needs great beekeepers. The Kalamazoo Club is full of excited-about-bee people who want to help you succeed.
