Russian and Wild Bees

We are the unsung heroes of the farm. We arrived as 2 Russian nucs in May 2022 and now make up 4 hives. Sometimes we like to swarm and then we get to live in a new location on the farm-the humans are pretty good at catching us. We pollinate everything we can find and like to visit the neighbors for some sugar water. We love clover, flowers, and the garden. We work incredibly hard to make honey, but the humans steal it 2 times a year. They always leave enough for us to make it through the winter though.
