[Summit] Honeybees - Summit/East Side

[Andrew Nosal]

Last year my peach tree and blueberry bushes bloomed beautifully but gave almost no fruit.  My theory why is No Bees.  I have not yet seen one near home this year either.

The hives in the burial ground looked nice and busy the other day!  They could make it to my place, but I think they find no need to travel that far.

Until I get a hive I intend to hand-pollinate.
