May 2018

As of now, Walnut Creek Apiaries has no honey from the 2017 season and is eagerly awaiting the first harvest of the 2018 season.  The colder than usual spring has certainly kept the bees from producing, but they appear to be making up for lost time.  The apiary can barely be entered on a 80 degree day without expecting to be hit by a foraging bee leaving or returning the hive.  Some frames are beginning to be finished by the bees and are starting to be capped.  It would also appear that “white wax” has also started to flow in the hives as well.
