@oceaiii We used to pet them. They are very mellow.

These supers are almost full. How’d they do that? Grass wasn’t an issue? We’ve got to harvest these supers before the lavender buds open, and they’re about to open. 🐝

We found a beehive about 30ft up in the side of a building. It was a challenge, but we rescued these bees. Soon they will be collecting some sweet lavender nectar. 🐝

These two fields are bursting with wild radish and wild wild mustard. They were also seeded with white clover and crimson clover. The crimson clover is about to pop. We’ve got about 30 hives set for it with more going out today. We were busy putting supers on them yesterday. 🐝
