Hey bee friends! 🐝
Did you know that drone bees (the males) often drift between hives?

Unlike worker bees, drones don’t have chores — no foraging, guarding, or brood care. Their main mission is simple: to mate with a queen. Because of that, they’re not as loyal to one specific hive and tend to wander from one to another.

They also don’t memorize landmarks or scents as well as worker bees, so it’s easy for them to end up in a neighbor’s hive. Most colonies don’t mind a visiting drone or two since drones don’t steal resources — they just eat, rest, and wait for their big moment.

But when fall approaches and food gets scarce, the story changes. Worker bees kick the drones out to save supplies for winter. It’s nature’s way of keeping the colony strong through the cold months ahead.

💛 Just another fascinating glimpse into the complex world of bees!

Hey bee friends! 🐝
Ever wonder if honey bees can switch hives?

Short answer — nope! Bees are super loyal to their home. Each hive has its own unique scent (thanks to the queen’s pheromones), and every bee learns it before her first flight. Guards even “sniff-check” returning foragers to make sure they belong — no matching scent, no entry!

Sometimes bees accidentally end up in the wrong hive (called drifting), especially when hives are close together or the weather’s bad. A few drifters are fine, but too many can spread disease or mites.

If a whole colony leaves, it’s usually due to overcrowding (swarming) or stress (absconding).

Bees are loyal to their family, their queen, and their home — just another reason to love these amazing little creatures. 💛

😴 I first started exploring magnesium oil many years ago to help improve my sleep. I loved the idea, but I wasn’t very consistent with it — mostly because the store-bought versions had so many extra ingredients that I didn’t want on my skin.

Fast forward to today, and I make my own magnesium oil with just two simple ingredients. I’ve noticed such a difference! It helps me unwind, eases tension, and supports a much more restful night’s sleep. 💧✨

Sometimes, less really is more.

If you’ve been looking for a natural way to relax and sleep better, give my magnesium oil a try — your body will thank you! 💜

🌲 As autumn settles in, our white pines are busy shedding their needles — especially our oldest and tallest one, standing proud at nearly 50 feet and around 50 years old.

This year, it seems to be dropping more needles than usual, and while that might look like a mess to some, it’s a gift for a beekeeper. I love using white pine needles to light my smoker — they burn slow and steady, giving just the right amount of smoke to work through the hives. 🐝🔥

There’s an old bit of folklore that says when the pines drop their needles heavily, it’s a sign of a long, cold winter ahead. ❄️
If that’s true, it looks like we might be in for a cozy one.
