Well, the girls are bringing in lots of pollen. Today was 80 degrees. I plan to treat with oxalic acid fumes for mite control tomorrow. I will also check on honey stores. I have been feeding Pro-sweet, so they should be ok. I also want to take a quick peek to see how much brood there is. Can't hardly believe we are talking about swarm prevention in January.

Good morning!
We are going to be at the BBQ, Car show, and Fall Festival at Northgate Crossing Elementary today. Come by and see us.

We are so excited about presenting at the First Annual Pollinator Festival at The Mercer Arboretum this Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
We will have an observation hive with live honey bees and all sorts of educational materials. Hope to see you there.

[09/20/18]   We did our Fall hive inspections and everything looks really good. We captured a small swarm and moved a feral colony into a hive box. Wow! What a day!
We are looking to harvest our Fall honey late next month. We will keep you posted.

Well, it has finally arrived. Tomorrow we will be doing our Spring honey harvest. Yeah!
We will be into the hives late morning and should begin processing the honey around noon. So if you live close by and want to see how we do it, you are welcome to drop by.

[02/02/18]   God is so good! It looks like all five hives have survived the worst of the winter and they are thriving. Workers are bringing in pollen (probably from elm trees) in preparation for the queen to start laying eggs. We are in great shape for a lot of bees and a lot of honey this year.

We just had a wonderful honey harvest on July 4th. This year's harvest is probably the best honey yet. We will be bottling next week when our new bottles come in.

[05/07/17]   Honey supers installed

What a season we are having. We are installing our honey suppers on Monday. Lots of bees and plenty of wild flowers make for some great honey in a couple of months.
