June was a great month for my bees. All 3 of my hives thrived and the new hive sponsored by Telus International was strong now. The short period of flowering plants did not allow for much honey collection but had enough to feed their own brood and build a strong hive so now we are confident next season will be great for this hive. Our main aim is to keep the bees strong to survive the coming winter as last winter was not great. More family visited and got to see my hives and taste the honey directly from the hive which is absolutely amazing. Bees work so hard and are essential to our ecosystem.
