Late September Open Feeding of Bees

A short film of the bees yard activity when open feeding honeybees. Honey from structural removals is fed back to the honeybees. This helps ensure that each hive in the apiary has enough food stores to make it through the winter. When there is no natural nectar flow, open feeding can be used to make […]

Texas Wildflowers In Bloom!

Education about aspects of the honeybee’s lives is essential to let homeowners know why I generally choose to NOT remove bees from someone’s home, tree, […]
