The bees that were recently transferred from Kumamoto Prefecture to Akita Prefecture are currently

In Nibetsu and Gojome towns, nectar and pollen are collected from horse chestnut flowers.

The horse chestnut is a large tree, about 25m tall, and flowers are gradually starting to bloom.

The pollen of the horse chestnut flower is red, so it's easy to see the bees with the pollen on their legs.

The beekeeping club members also pay close attention to the condition of the bees and work hard every day to harvest honey.
