Spring blossoms ❤️

It’s an amazing time of year when the garden awakes with sudden floral beauty and our bees are so busy!

Hives are transformed almost overnight from hunkering down in Winter cold to bursting forth on warm sunny days foraging for nectar and pollen galore.

I always love seeing bees on our peach and nectarine blossoms… knowing in six months time we could be harvesting delicious fruit that was only made possible by the pollination work of a tiny little bee!
