Signs of Spring

Posted by Picasa
 The Beekeeper has brought in his hives to help with the pollination of our fruit. They are traveling bees; they are taken to California in January to help with pollinating the almonds. They are then brought to our orchards to wait for the fruit blossoms. From our orchards they are taken to where they spend their summers, some hives go to Canada and some to North Dakota. In the late summer the beekeeper will bring them home to his plant where he will extract the honey and prepare the hives for winter. Then in January they will start their travels again.
