About five weeks ago I wrote a blog about seeding clover for my bees to feast on in order to make delicious honey. Last weekend I searched for any sign that the sowing of clover seeds in February snow was a success.

If you look closely, you can see some tiny clover leaves peeking through the ground cover of dead grass and fall leaves. 

All three hives made it through that -20 degree weather. I feel very fortunate, because many hives froze to death in many parts of the nation. Hopefully, we’ll be able to harvest some lovely honey this year.
