When something looks like a bee and is found on a beehive, it’s pretty reasonable to think it is a bee. In this case, it is not. Meet the Common Drone Fly #imposter #hoverfly #itsnotabee

Overheard at the hives today...

Our Family Fall Fest was virtual this year - we really missed bringing community members out to visit the hives!

Late posting these pics from @PerkiomenSchool Fall Family Weekend. It was great having so many new people visit the #hives. From the feedback we heard, our guests especially enjoyed tasting honey that came straight from the comb! 🐝#whosbeeninthehives #beesinschools #beekeeping

Today a friend in Algeria and I baked a traditional recipe called #griwech together over #zoom. Can you guess the most #essential ingredient? Hint: it came straight from my #beehive!

My beehives are a refreshing source of order and structure in these uncertain times. Beekeeping keeps me grounded. Happy #NationalHoneyBeeDay to my fellow bee enthusiasts!

@BeekeeperSimon Start with 2 hives instead of one.

"Still, scientists say there's a lot everyday people can do. 'If you have a garden, fill it full of native plants that the bees can go visit,' Soroye says."

@BeeFarm12 It still looks so light! The last frame we took gave us honey the color of molasses. Your comb packages look great 🍯.

Happiness is: One last goodbye from the monarch you have been raising during science class. Sarah's classmates have tagged and released over 25 #monarch butterflies in September. #handsonscience #citizenscience

[Perkiomen Bee Team @Perkiomen_Bees]

@BeeFarm12 You have always been such a good mentor - thank you for looking out for us! 🐝

Lots of hive maintenance today. High mite counts called for a treatment w/ Mite-Away Quick Strips. Timed it perfectly so that they will be ready to open again in time for hive tours during Fall Family Fest weekend! #beekeeping #varroa
