An extraordinary new hive has taken up residence here. Yesterday CSB took me down to the field
and there, suspended by wax from a branch of the Kousa dogwood (
Cornus kousa) was a very active, thriving beehive. It has clearly been there for most of the
summer because they have built significant amounts of classic heart-shaped comb. I have never before
seen an open-air, so to speak, hive and naturally we wondered how they would fare this winter. Not to worry, CSB said he will simply remove the branch sometime this fall and give them a wooden beehive home.
