Those are some rainy day bees! Well, actually it was a slightly snowy day in February when we quickly popped our hives open to treat them for varroa mites and talk about the asian giant hornet with @MattSmithKIRO7

Replying to @MattSmithFOX13

Let’s keep the value where it’s actually produced! Each click of the supply chain you’re adding value: let’s keep it in region. ~ Stephen Jones, @wsucahnrs #FoodTank
