BEEKEEPING

C.2020

Bees are fascinating creatures and keeping them can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Bee keeping was a pandemic project for me, and it began by sourcing the first colony from a nearby beekeeper in South Bend, Indiana. The colony consists of workers, brood, and a queen.

As a beekeeper, it's important to ensure that the colony has everything it needs to thrive, including access to food sources, water, and shelter. Monitoring the health of your bees regularly also includes checking for signs of disease, pests, or other issues that may affect their well-being.

By planting a native prairie meadowland in the proximity of the hives, it encourages the bees to harvest, and therefore spread, native pollens.
