Today’s Run:  Rest Day

It is a beautiful Spring day here in Mississippi!  It is Mother’s Day and for Mother’s Day, I have the house all to myself.  My husband took the day off to go fishing, so I am baking bread and cleaning the floors.  Does not sounds like a great Mother’s Day but trust me, it is just what the “doctor ordered”.

Seeing as the weather outside is positively perfect, I decided to wander on down to my Apiary and check on my bees.  I have not been able to walk down there for a couple of days…too busy.  So, I grabbed my phone and toddled on down to the end of our property where I house my five bee hives.

The birds were singing and my chickens were clucking their greetings (secretly hoping that I had brought them a treat to eat).  I walked through the clover making a mental note to myself:  Self, mow tomorrow.  I reached the Apiary.

This Spring my bees have been particularly aggressive so I approached with trepidation.  They seemed to be in good spirits so I just wandered around each hive.  Yup.  They had pollen with them.  This was good!  They were busy (busy bees, don’t you know!?!) coming and going.  Not stopping to notice me.  I took a few pics and left feeling content.  The first honey flow should start within a few weeks.  We will be ready.
