Winter Solstice has passed, which in bee-speak means this: the Queens are quietly stretching, checking their calendars, and getting ready to lay in preparation for spring. And so should we. Now is the moment to start thinking ahead — equipment checks, learning curves, daydreaming about nectar flows and full supers. If you’re new to beekeeping, hop into the Classroom for resources, guidance, and a gentle hand to hold before things get buzzy. Ask questions. Share thoughts. Wonder out loud. This is our little beekeeping corner of the world ... where we support each other so our bees (and our beekeeping communities) can thrive. Spring always begins quietly. This is it.
