As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, our bees are starting to slow down their honey production. But that's okay - they're busy getting ready for winter by clustering together to keep warm and conserving their energy.

We're always amazed by the resilience of our bees and their ability to adapt to changing seasons. Here's to the amazing bees and all they do for our ecosystem - we couldn't do it without them!

Activities that occur in the colony vary with the seasons, and spring is the most important time of the year for honeybees. The bees have survived the cold winter months by living off their storage of honey from the previous year. They now are in need of a new supply.

The first action of business for the colony as the weather changes is increasing its population in advance of summer’s warmth.
