Sadly it made me think of the beekeepers I know that lost colonies.  What support can I offer to those who have lost all of there bees? “Stay With It.” 

It was a very rough season for all the bees last year. Of the many hives I lost I now know more about the challenges the bees are up against. I want to encourage others to pick up the super, clean up the frames, set it up and get ready to hear that wonderful buzzing sound again.

Though the year has just started, it has been a privilege and a learning experience to be the president of Sacramento Area Beekeepers Association.  The greatest reward is not only assisting in further development of the association, but the ability to work with and assist other beekeepers.
