I've noticed since keeping bees, they make you notice the subtleties of nature that you had never noticed before. This is coming from someone who has enjoyed the outdoors my whole life but the bees manage to find the smallest flowers that had previously gone unnoticed.

Great video. I am in my third year beekeeping. My girl are strong and booming. I now let my weeds grow to feed my bees and get the pollen an nectar they need. My neighbors asked my why I don’t keep my yard cut down like I used to, I told them it is to feed my bees and let them get food. The weeds are great source of food for them. Now my neighbors see the bees and don’t cut their weeds down as quickly, especially after I brought them a large jar of honey at the end of the season as a gift and thanks for letting the bees feed. Bees truly are amazing to watch and learn from. Love the channel! Greeting from Alabama to you and your family.
