Attached is an excellent article on the health benefits of honey. We like to eat a little bit of honey on a regular basis. A spoonful in a cup of hot tea is a great way to start. http://honeypedia.info/health-benefits-of-honey
2015 was a cold and snowy winter.
Watch these honeybees returning with full pollen baskets. Pollen provides the protein and other nutrients essential for growing brood. It’s also very healthy for us to eat.
The 1st of December and winter is approaching. The beehives are wrapped in foam board on three sides to help keep the honeybees warm. Freezing temperatures won’t kill them if they have plenty of food to eat, but if they run out they’ll starve as there is no food outside of the hive they can get. The colder it gets the more they’ll eat as they convert calories into heat. The foam helps them to stay warm and therefore eat less.
