Spring is time to clean out debris from the bottom board of the hive and to locate the queen, or at least to see the results of the queen’s work by noting if there are eggs and capped brood. These last days I have been going through my hives and of the hives that over-wintered, all of the queens are reigning.
The queen is the mother of the hive. She sets the tone until or unless, the community of bees decides otherwise.
Thanks be to God and the guardian angels of the bees.
Save the bees, save the Church.
