Therefore the bees have been out in force. We have seen significant numbers of them on the lavender and rosemary in the neighborhood. The plum trees have not started to bloom yet, though.
In Berkeley, I've seen several bees on the jade plants which are fully in bloom now.
When we visited the Stybring Arboretum in Golden Gate park over this weekend there were bees on almost every plant that was in flower.
You can see that they are gathering pollen from the flowers they visit, which means they are getting ready for brood.It seems likely that we will need to visit the hive in the near future to make sure that they have enough room. If the warm weather has convinced the queen to start laying again they will need some space for brood and pollen, followed by honey.
Please visit our shop to purchase Noe Valley Honey and other hive products from the Pollen Princesses.

I heard about your products on the Noe Valley blog, and am dying to try them! I couldn't find any contact info, so am leaving a post. Is the only way to purchase your honey to order through etsy or are there other outlets around Noe Valley? I live in Noe Valley, so wanted to avoid pointless shipping if possible...
Thanks!
Hi -- I understand completely.
You can make a purchase on Etsy with a comment that you are in the City and would like to pick the order up in person -- don't pay at that time. We can arrange for you to come pick up the honey and I can then bill you without shipping in pay pal or you can pay me when you come to pick up the order.
