Did You Know – Part V

My apologies for the week or so hiatus!  As the weather cools down so too does the beekeeping activities (at least at the hive).  While I’ll still strive to have a weekly posting during the cooler months, please don’t be too disappointed if a week is missed here or there!  🙂

To tease an upcoming post, I’ll be preparing the hive for their first winter soon.  Check back to see what was done to protect the bees from both the elements and predators.

For now, this week’s interesting factoid comes from the 2 Cs and a Bee Beekeepers Association –

It would take approximately one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s flight around the earth.

Perhaps we found the next alternative fuel!  🙂
