The dandelions are in full bloom. Unfortunately we are receiving record amounts of rain; so the bees cannot get out of the hives to collect the pollen and nectar. Who ever thought a field of dandelion would be so beautiful? A beekeeper of course.

Lots of local fields are experiencing a dandelion bloom |
I was able to find a couple of bees foraging on my lawn. The pollen also indicates that they are getting a lot from the dandelions.

Hopefully we can get some nice weather and the bees can get out more!
