Wild honey bee hive discovery
Observe and Interact, while collecting the maple sugaring equipment from the woods I noticed honey bees frequently landing on the buckets to drink some of the sweet sap. There was so many of them around, I thought the hive must be somewhere nearby. I made sure to look up and at any large trees with holes in their trunk. I quickly found a cherry tree swarming with honey bees! If I have time I'll set a swarm trap later this spring and see if we can get some bee hives going again.
