The Bee Pasture

Scilla siberica, Primula veris, Anemone nemorosa

The Propolis

The propolis contains resin, vegetable balsam, beeswax and essential oils. The bees use the propolis to sterilize their hive and to seal cracks in the hive.

The Salix Caprea

The willow trees bring the first nectar flow for our bees. 

The Palm Sunday

We call it "The Blooming Sunday" in the Czech.

The Nectar Flow

We are starting the honey flow from the willow trees. The nectar flow is necessary for the brood rearing.

"I have been skiing, skating, building a snowman. I have been heating in the fireplace during the winter. I enjoy the work in the spring time!"
