We set the hives out on the edge of a canola field and the girls are ready to go to work making honey. Actually, because these are new hives, they will have to build a lot of wax before they start putting up honey. We have found that canola is a great crop to start bees out on. They really seem to make wax fast and the queen lays a lot of eggs. Usually, when we take them off canola these hives will have 2 boxes each and most of the frames covered with new wax and full of bees.
