We setup the 7th Heaven certified organic farm this weekend with five ready to go tbh’s. All we need now are bees. also the Avocado orchard is looking real nice, we even have two colonies with supers and some spring honey flowing from the wildflowers. With all that went on we had a very productive weekend.
Checked Apiaries this weekend all seems fine looking forward to a productive spring.
We did an quick Apiary check Sunday. All looks good except one colony in the Avocado Orchard. We may lose it to CCD. Otherwise all is well. We will be cleaning and painting some equipment getting ready for next spring. Looking forward to a very good year and much Honey.
We met some very nice Organic Farmers a few weeks ago and decided to take them up on their offer to start an organic apiary at on their property. Today we made the trip to their farm and we were very impressed by them and what they have accomplished. We will be starting a new Apiary with maybe two or three TBH’s this early spring in beautiful Cayucos, at the 7th Heaven Organics. We think this will be an excellent location for our bees and that the bees will do a wonderful job of increasing the farms yield. I can almost taste the berry honey now.
Visited the Four Elements Farm Apiary today. We found the colonies doing very well, they have closed off 2/3 of their access wholes and had bees returning with pollen at the open entrances. No pest seemed present, so all seems well. We will be placing bricks underneath the legs to prevent future rain mishaps.
