These bees had just moved into this compost bin in the last 2 days. There were three small pieces of comb, and eggs as well as pollen in the comb. The compost bin had heated up enough after the sun shone it’s light on it – that the comb melted and fell into the compostable […] 
I spent the first half of today with a great team of individuals that are committed to assisting Texas residents with agriculture – whether it be in the form of commercial agriculture, or backyard gardening – and all stages in between.
