Honey Bee Colony inspection in April in Minnesota

Hi, we are Matt & Sara. Along with our 4 kids, our dog, our cat, 4 pigs, a lot of chickens and even more bees we have been developing our homesteading lifestyle. After over a decade on our property we are finally debt free and using our new FREEDOM to do what we have always wanted to do (be more self reliant)!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

The warm winter and warm spring must be helpful for your colonies. We've got wasps all over the place. I need to find the wasp nests and remove them. Cheers Matt!

[@mattsara2802]

Wasp are the worst

[@dcsblessedbees]

See what happens when I ask how the bees are doing, Matt gets to spend a day playing beekeeper.😁Blessed Days Matt and Family.

[@mattsara2802]

[@CastleHives]

Look at that, I made an appearance. Looks like you'll be making some splits. The season is going to be early for I think most folks. Can't wait to see how this year pans out for you.

[@mattsara2802]

[@russellkoopman3004]

Good luck Matt on your expansion plans. I found about what you found in my hives this week. Couple of slow ones and some very strong ones. Hope we get some timely rains this year.

[@mattsara2802]
