All the hives around here are buzzing and bustling. Looking to start some early queen grafts on 2/2 ( about 10 days ahead of schedule) since capped drones are starting to appear. Today's temps are going to be in mid 70's, which doesn't hurt. Local blueberry nursery around the corner from the farm has early bloom bushes going and the bees are feverish in their activity. Hope everyone's hives are great this year! Good beekeeping to all.
What has been your experience with the bees on blueberries? Do they get enough nectar for surplus, or is it mostly used up with expanding brood? Forgive me for getting O/T...
