How you can help pollinators this spring
Spring is defined by warmer temperatures, fresh foliage, and the overall rebound of nature. Many of the changes we see in the environment are thanks to the important pollinators, like honey bees. Jim Anglewicz has been a bee keeper in Alanson for over 20 years. Spring is an important time for honey bees. “There’s different varieties of bees, so depending on the variety of bee some may start building their population in February. My bees start doing that in April,” Anglewicz explains. For his bees, maple tree flowers are their trigger to build up the population. During the build up, bees are collecting as much pollen and nectar as they can in order to feed their baby bees. They build their populations up through June and spend most their resources growing their population and hive. In July, they begin the process of storing their excess. From July 1 to August 15, bees will put about five pounds of weight in the hive every day.
