This colony ‘requeened’ itself this year after swarming. The new queen has been laying strong all summer, allowing the population to grow to provide honey for the winter. Soon, we’ll take a peak and see if they can spare any for us.

Only one entry this year!! I entered my Spring Wildflower honey from the Ragle Rd colony in the Sonoma County Fair. The bees are in close proximity to hundreds of acres of Gravenstein apples as well as blackberries within the Ragle Ranch Park. The berry flavor really stands out. Wish me luck!!

Does more winter rain equal a better, worse or same nectar flow in the spring? In my experience, wet winters means less honey in the spring. We’ll see if that holds true this coming year.

Mustard pollen coming in today with Acacia starting next.

The foragers are bringing in so much pollen it’s crazy.
