Marana Unwrapped

Springtime in Marana and Tucson brings warmer weather, earlier sunrises, and swarms of bees.

The other day I saw a swarm crossing the street (they waited for a green light). It was an amazing sight, but I was glad I was in my car with the windows closed.

Bees usually swarm when the colony splits, and they go in search of a new nesting place. Even though we have to be careful of them, bees are essential to agriculture and nature in general.

So keep your eyes open, and watch for bee activity near your home. For more information about bees, check out this website to get started.
