OK, I had an inch of snow on 16 February - how about ya'll? Anyway,
my red maple is just starting but some of my friends at lower altitudes
have had red maple for a couple of weeks already. I saw a red bud in
full bloom in Easley last Wednesday too.
Speaking of flowers and plants - it's important for you to know
something about what is growing around your beeyard. Is it a good
honey plant? When does it bloom? How close is it? Where can your
bees get good pollen from? (Remember: little pollen = few bees, bees
need a variety of pollens to get a good balanced diet) You need lots of
bees to pollinate your garden or to bring in a good crop of honey, so we
have to look out for them. Let's have a wonderful spring and a great
year!
