The term “Beekeeper” entails more that robbing honey once a year. In order to be a good beekeeper, you have to keep a constant eye out for mites, destructive moths, and hive beetles. In winter, it’s wise to provide extra food for them in case they run out of their stored honey. There is no end to the tending.

In order to provide my bees with plenty of flowers in summer, I sowed white clover the other day. These seeds need to be sown in February in the snow. So, on a frigid, windy, day last week I did just that. Hopefully, this white clover will take root and grow an abundant crop so my bees can make a great deal of light, delicious honey this spring.
