This is where I document life with backyard bees in Zone 6b — the seasons, the surprises, and the small dramas inside the hive.

I’m learning as I go, paying attention to bloom cycles, weather shifts, and how a colony adapts to cold winters and unpredictable springs. Some years are steady. Others are humbling.

If you’re curious about small-scale beekeeping in a four-season climate, this is where that story lives.
