I’m so sorry to hear your bees didn’t make it—quite heartbreaking, really. Will you acquire another colony this Spring?
On a more pleasant note…I so enjoyed your Suburb Farm spin on St. Valentine’s celebrations, and how you brought it all together: where Roman festivals meet saints’ feast days meet the traditional rhythms of agriculture!
I look forward to that in a future post. I imagine that although you lost this colony, your bees provided immense benefits to your garden this past season!

Thank you, Susan, for the sympathy and encouragement. I think we'll likely try another bee colony, despite the heartbreak so far.

For sure! They were A+ pollinators.
