Thanks for the update on your buzzing bees. Your queen is very regal I might add! I even added a picture of her in my blog article about The Sunflower Project - helping save the bees.

Loved your honeybee blog. My husband and I are backyard beekeepers in our 2nd year. Luckily our bees survived our NH winter. My husband also has a bee blog and has many great pictures and video. (He has a video production company) http://nhbees.blogspot.com/
Our apiary is surrounded by an electric fence because of our resident bear. We should be able to take some honey this year. I'm so excite. Have fun with your bees.

Martha, my wife Aprill and I have started a "Don't Mow Your Clover" movement among our friends and neighbors in Charlotte, NC. We have a friend who keeps bees, and he tells us that clover is the main source of pollen for most honey bees. So our backyard looks really funny - with big circles of high clover. But there are lots of blooms, and the bees are everywhere. By the end of June, the blooms will be gone and I can mow. Why don't you start a "Don't Mow Your Clover" movement nationwide from your show?

what if anything do you plan to do with the honey?
might i suggest a episode on your show where you make mead?
i believe there is a growing interest in the mead making process

Martha, I'm interested what you do with all your honey as well as all the vegetables and flowers you grow (both in the greenhouses and in the ground).

Will you be selling any of the products you're producing?! I'd buy some!
