Yes, worker bees DO force drones out of the hive in late summer and early autumn🍂

🔸Drones don't gather nectar, make honey, or protect the hive; they mainly just mate with a queen

As temperatures drop and food is scarce, drones are an extra mouth to feed, and...

🐝Visit before we close our observation hive to see the bees in action!

We are not the same-Raw vs Processed 🍯

🍯Raw honey is bottled with minimal filtering and no high-heat pasteurization allowing it to retain natural pollen, enzymes, and antioxidants.

🫙Commercial regular honey is often heated and ultra-filtered to create a clear, uniform appearance and a longer shelf life, which removes these beneficial compounds.

Stop by and taste the difference 🐝🍯
