NC Honeybees Suffering

By Tim | July 8, 2012 | Tags: Northern America |

NC honeybees are suffering in the extreme heat and dryness the state has been experiencing. Of course, that’s just my opinion, nothing scientific.

The reason I say so is that I’ve hardly seen any honeybees this year, until today. At lunch, I dumped some watermelon rinds on our compost pile. In the evening, I walked by to find the rinds covered in honeybees. They all looked young and lean. They no doubt were glad to have the water and sugar from the rinds and I was certainly glad to give it.

Drink up little bees…
