Good News!

Remember our bees! I worried about them with those freezing temperatures and all that snow. I would walk past the bee hives covered with snow and say a little prayer. Well, today the temperature finally hit 50! Felt like a heat wave hit Cincinnati. Actually went outside without 10 layers of clothes - how nice!

My friend the beekeeper, Kent Hatfield, called and said I should go look at my bee hives and, hopefully, see if there is any sign of life. With the warm temperature, the bees should be coming out of the hive. So very cautiously, I went out to the hives hoping for the best, but reluctant to look. The way our luck has been lately, I wasn't sure I really wanted to look! BUT . . . there they were . . . my wonderful little bees buzzing around. What a beautiful sight!!! Both hives were active! Thank you Lord! So, apparently, we did right in feeding like we did. B & D Honey, yes siree!!
