Honey Bees

I’ve been surprised to find Honey Bees up here on my mountain as I roam. Whether it is just around my cabin or as I traverse the trails. Honey Bees can travel five miles for food. Generally though a bee will travel about a mile from its hive. Surely there are no managed colonies within that range. Neighbors up here are rare and don’t keep bees. Wild Honey Bees.
