Spent the weekend in the country at the lodge with the children. Tennis, hiking on the trails, gator rides, bonfires with smores and trips to Grandma’s house for root beer floats were a just a few of the weekend adventures. One highlight was when one of the kids came to me exclaiming that the bees were still alive. I was shocked to hear this as I thought they had succumbed to the winter weather and I neglected to winterize the hive. I suited up to take a look and was astonished at how healthy the hive looked! The queen was found and she looked great! Looks like this year will be the first honey harvest at Steinthal!
