Bee yard in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Under the blue sky that evokes early summer, the honey extraction of mandarin honey took place!
Not only checking the honey storage amount, but also conducting a hive inspection to simultaneously check the health of the bees and the presence of pests such as mites.

This year's mandarin orange blossoms are blooming slightly earlier than usual.
Thanks to favorable weather, the flow of nectar from the oranges has been good, allowing us to collect plenty of honey.
I want to cherish and watch over the hardworking bees in this challenging natural environment.
