BONUS Video - One Family Becomes Two: Bee Family Splitting

One of our favorite hobbies around the property is beekeeping. We have really enjoyed seeing our bees pollinate ours and our neighbor's crops, as well as enjoy the actual taste of our property. We are still amateurs, as this was our fourth season beekeeping, but it felt like a great step forward. Splitting hives is a bit of a delicate science, and we were not sure how it would go, but we are happy to say it went well. At the end of this season, we extracted about 9 kg of honey. However, they did not survive the winter, which is common with bee families. But we are hoping for a better crop this season. Please enjoy this bonus video!
