As the predominantly red-and-green holiday season draws to a close, and the year crawls to an end, it's time to "bee in the pink."

Pink?

Yes, "in the pink."

Skip the red. Ignore the green. Think "in the pink."

"In the pink" means to be in top form, in peak condition, in the best of health, and that's a good resolution for the New Year. (Not to mention every day of every year.)

And, if you keep bees, let's hope your bees will be "in the pink," too. Want to learn to about beekeeping? Contact the UC Davis-based California Master Beekeeper Program. 

Happy New Year!
