We only have one colony of bees in the back garden of Saraswati Holiday House. But precisely because of the lack of strong competition and good nectar flow, we were able to extract more honey than ever before in October 2024. Almost 1 kg. But we also left plenty of honey in the hive, which should last through the coming rainy season. We also observe other species of wild bees in our garden. They also need nectar and pollen, so it is just good for them that there is only one colony of cerana honey bees at our place.
