A Few Days of Spring!
The warm weather last week was an exciting time for the bees to get out of the home they
hadn't left since early December. I took the opportunity to feed the bees fondant- which uses the
same recipe as the special icing for cakes- so that they could replenish their stores. There is still at
least another month until nectar flow, and the girls are going through their winter food fast. I also
took some pictures of them enjoying their freedom! The upper two pictures are the bees feeding on
fresh fondant. As you can see, they were overjoyed!!
