Friends,
I wanted to share with you a HD video about the wildflower fields of New England. I have to admit, the facts may be a bit skewed, but it's the message about how important the honey bee is to New England that is important. (and the pretty field)

This was shot in a 45 minute lunch break, and off-the-cuff, for any apiaries out there, I do think the bee would survive if we didn't have wildflower fields, but to be honest, I think they would struggle. That is the one glaring assumption I make during the vid, and for the GotMead crowd I wanted to throw out the disclaimer rather than throw on the flame suit.

Enjoy the short clip, and comments/feedback/sharing to all is very much appreciated and welcome.

Well done old Boy!!!

That clip made me even more determined in having my own bees...
Hope I can do as well as you with them some day....
Keep up the good work..

And that means that the bees are able to roam and explore and choose whatever bloom they like to gather nectar from and make honey with.

It's the only way you could ever preserve the summer in a bottle. I mean, what better way than to take the nectar from these flowers, condense it into sugar, and then make wine from it?

Very nice.
