Springtime isn't the only time that pollinators are out and about! Honeybees do lots of prep to make sure their hive has enough food, water, warmth, and protection during the colder months. Learn more about this season in our Fall Hive Harvest Lesson.

It's a lovely day to open up the hives! Beekeepers check on their hives periodically to make sure everything is in working order.

Right now, as we move into the fall and winter seasons, honeybees will start to reduce their hives to make up for the loss of blooming flowers around them.

Sometimes beekeepers will help out their hives by feeding them suger water - otherwise the bees might leave to find a better spot!

We love to hear feedback from all of our teachers! You input helps us grow and serve our community better. We love inspiring young explorers to have an interest in the world around them.

Happy Monday from Lucky! She was jealous that we were so focused on the bees, she had to pop in for a glamor shot.

This is the Blue Banded Bee! Did you ever thing you'd see a blue bee?

Blue Banded Bees are found in Australia, New Guinea, and parts of Asia. These bees are solitary creatures, so they don't build hives or live in a community like honeybees do. They also lay their eggs in tiny tunnels that they borough into the ground!

Just like honeybees, these pollinators are very important to their environment, and need to be protected! While planting flowers in your own community might not help Blue Banded Bees all the way in Australia, it will help the thousands of Native Bees in your community.

Answer: Kendal, our Master Beekeeper, is using a smoker and a small Queen Cage to separate the queen from the rest of her hive. When a new queen is born, beekeepers will pull her aside and mark her with animal-safe paint. This will make her easier to spot in her hive, but more importantly, this will be an indicator for how old she is.

Each year, the National Beekeepers Association rotates through 5 different colors (queens live up to 5 years), that color represents when the queen was born. This year is blue!

When is the best time to harvest honey? Kendal explains how beekeepers here in SoCal and the Bay decide when to harvest their next batch of delicious honey.

Back in the winter when this was filmed, our hives were small - our bees had prepared for the cold weather by downsizing their hive, so taking their honey could have had grave damage to our bees. Beekeepers keep a close eye on their hive and make sure their bees are fed before we take their leftovers 🐝

About Sager Family Farm

My name is Kendal Sager, and I started my adventure into farming as a first grader on a class field trip to Hidden Villa. I was so inspired, that I have been volunteering or working in the nature education field ever since.

In 2011, I got my first farm critter: bees. Since, then I've steadily been adding to my suburban farm with chickens, fruits, veggies, and various crafts. Most of my critters live at my home, though I also keep beehives throughout my hometown of Los Altos, and the surrounding areas. I have a passion for teaching and I love sharing my experience through educational talks and events.

Check out my blog to follow my adventures in beekeeping, or take a look at the education page if you're interested in any of the classes, talks, or other fun activities I do.
