Somehow spring is just not ready to pop it’s pretty head in on the east coast here. Â We have had numerous snow storms. Â Plenty of skiing. Â Worn our down coats to death. Â And winter just keeps hanging on. Â It’s the end of April here and I think it snowed last week.
It’s been so cold that my bees didn’t make it. 🙁 Â For those that don’t know, this was my first year at attempting to be a beekeeper. Â Apparently they had food in the hive but were too cold to leave their cluster to get it. Â So so sad. Â Poor cold bees. Â Poor cold me!
I haven’t been feeling like leaving my cluster much lately either so I decided to try and fake it till I make it. Â I’m making fresh strawberry cake because what’s says summer more than a bowl of strawberries??
