So Many Bees


Just a few days ago I inspected the 3 colonies. The weather here has been unusually warm. As much as 82 degrees in Corralitos, which is just a stones throw from here.

At any rate, the bees looked great, robust and healthy with plenty of honey stored. I am curious though. If a queen bee is supposed to lay much less in the Winter,I don't know where all the bees are coming from??? Ha ha...I will check them again in Mid-February, to work on keeping them from swarming.
