February Love

What up 2014!  Hope the month of love has been treating you fabulously!  Just giving everyone the heads up that I am planning to update this Bee Blog a little bit more this year.  Also, I will be giving updates on when honey is for sale this Spring - Lord willing.  I am really hoping to have a good amount of wonderful natural RAW HONEY for sale.  My bees seem to be buzzing around when its not snowing, so thats a good sign they winter'd well.  I am curious to see if my bees swarm this year, I am anticipating it, but not excited about it as that will SURELY slow down honey production.  Many beekeepers re-queen to avoid this smchmeeasco event but as surely you know by now I am a naturalist and enjoy letting the bees do what they do naturally.  Nevertheless, I currently have 3 bee hives and hope to harvest from all 3 this year in time.  This past fall I had about 16 jars of 8oz honey and man was it incredible!!! New for this year I will be selling pollen and you can bet your bottom $ it will not be cheap.  Do your research on how incredible pollen is for your body and you will begin to understand why it is so beneficial.
