Welcome back Spartans! President Stanley gave us a quick visit last weekend to help process farm fresh hops. Everyone loves RISE!

Happy Thursday! These past few weeks, Queen Bertha’s hive has been going strong while our second hive, ruled under Queen Anastasia, was struggling. This week was a wonderful turnaround, and now, both hives are looking healthier than ever. We saw a dramatic change in Queen Anastasia’s hive which we believe was caused by a change of power. Therefore, we’d like to welcome our new queen, Queen Charlotte! We can’t wait to extract honey this fall with our new and returning RISE-rs!
