While I think I have hives that haven't been treated for 2 years flourishing, maybe the bees are just tricking me.

The Bees seem very busy to get the most out of the farm before snow flies. Urgency is everywhere.

Today I do a walk around the farm, talking about our 17 healthy hives as they get ready for winter.

Bees are more flexible on where they live then we originally believed. This log hive is a perfect example.

For the past 10 years beekeepers in Europe have been using this technique to raise treatment free bees. What a surprise to learn it's a lot like what we are doing.
