Just picked up my beehive! My bees will not arrive until mid-April as my Mount Veeder property can still have frost. I decided to add bees to my Napa garden in an attempt to help my husband with his annual hay fever. Having a bit of local honey is supposed to help build the immune system to alleviate seasonal allergies. WebMD may say otherwise, but honey has so many other medicinal benefits – including antioxidants, vitamin B6, B2, iron, and magnesium – that it is bound to be helpful to one’s overall health.
Having bees will also help with the property’s eco-system. The bees will pollinate my fruit trees and garden. Now all I need to find is a Beekeeper Suit! Does Prada make one yet?
