Busy as a Bee

There's so much going on these day; it almost hard to stop and smell the flowers and admire the scenery. With the KCFB's Garden Fair coming up this weekend and the KCC EarthDay Celebration next Wednesday there's hardly any time for blogging but I did want to share a couple of links and a little good news for a change.

First there's a national survey about winter hive loss and another regarding hive management. This is all part of the on going work to help beekeepers record, document and analyze their labors. The surveys are being coordinated by Bee Informed, part of a national agricultural extension project.

And finally some good news about bees coming back in California. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue and will help farmers and beekeepers stay busy like their nectar loving winged friends. Hope to see you at KCC one of these days if you're not too busy.
