It wasn’t in the forecast, but last night we had a little preview of snow, that is still lingering this morning. Expecting more next week. ❄️
Congratulations to Jenn for passing her exam (with 99%) and meeting the other qualifications. She is now a certified Apprentice Beekeeper!

On the homestead blog: beehive inspection, harvest, treatment, requeening, an epic three-hour (plus half hour the next day) session at the hives to collect lots of honey, inspect, treat, and replace a couple of aging queen bees.
