Have you ever seen a honeybee swarm? 🐝

As scary as it might be to see thousands of bees outside the hive, they are normally very docile and can be safely relocated by a beekeeper. We have turned on our push notifications, so please send us a message on Facebook or Instagram you see a swarm - we can help them get to a new home or reach out to other beekeepers if we aren’t available. (Or email [email protected])

When there is lots of food available and the colony grows too large, half of the bees and the queen will leave in a swarm to start a new colony. The swarm will usually stop at a temporary location after leaving the hive in order to send out scout bees to find their new home.

They really don’t want any trouble, moving to a new home isn’t always an easy process, so make sure you call a beekeeper to help them out!

✨Life Update✨

We have been a little quiet on social media the last few months as we prepared for and welcomed our daughter 🤍

With regular full-time jobs, tending the bees, pregnancy, and spending time with our families, we have been very busy - but we are working on catching up on messages and emails! And really looking forward to lots of beekeeping updates this spring! 🐝

We’re loving parenthood so far and so so happy that Audra Lynn Photography captured these absolutely gorgeous photos of such a special moment in our lives! ✨
