600 pounds in the buckets. Estimating about 400 to go

07/16/2024

The drying room is almost full and I still have boxes to pull. Man it’s hot!!!

07/13/2024

I will be collecting rent this week. Most of my colonies have produced a decent amount considering a very weak spring crop due to daily rains.

Beautiful capped sourwood honey

07/04/2024

The girls are really packing in the clear stuff. You can smell the distinct smell of sourwood honey 25 ft from the hives

07/02/2024

My favorite tree flower. Sourwood!!

06/30/2024

Pollen packing!

06/30/2024

The hives are supered up nice, but I need more. Never enough equipment

06/26/2024

First pic is 3 years ago. Second is today. And third pic is 13 more currently down the hill on our property. A bit of an addiction you could say.

06/22/2024

The girls are restless. Come on sourwood!

04/04/2024

900.00 box of bugs. Now to get them in and making baby bees 🐝

04/02/2024

My swarm prevention didn’t quite work how I’d planned. I brought them back home. We’ll see if they stay.

03/17/2024

Made up 8 splits last Thursday. Seems like I’m 8 for 8 on new queen acceptance.

03/07/2024

Beautiful day. The bees are extremely active today.

03/05/2024

Things are booming in the bee yard

02/02/2024

First February inspection. I really liked what I saw. We’ll be making honey in no time.

01/27/2024

Note to self…. Remember to set the parking break on the side by side.

01/20/2024

This awesome piece of machinery will make my life so much easier come honey bottle filling time. Mann Lake easy fill.

01/18/2024

Even though it’s winter, there is always stuff to be done. Oxalic acid vaporization varroa mite treatments is one of the many tasks that will keep you busy as a bee!!

01/12/2024

My baby sister got me these for Christmas. I absolutely love them… and her!

12/08/2023

The Macon County Beekeepers Association presented me with this award last night at our Christmas dinner. Beekeeper of the year!

09/08/2023

New ink!

08/21/2023

Thanks to all that came out to my recent events/Festivals. The Black Mountain Sourwood Festival was a huge success, as was past Saturday at the Franklin Folk Festival school. Hope to do Pumkin Fest in October!

07/26/2023

It don’t get more farm to table than this.

07/15/2023

One of my most favorite times of the year!

06/12/2023

2023 wildflower honey haul. 500+ pounds.

Now let’s make some sourwood

05/31/2023

Turning part of the honey house into a drying room in preparation of pulling honey supers this week.

05/11/2023

Added more supers to the Apiary today.

05/06/2023

Picked up my second swarm of the season today. Backed up under them and dumped them in a box. Hope they are all this easy. lol

Hot days of June 2024

The girls are restless. Come on sourwood!

When a new queen is about to emerge she will make a noise that beekeepers call piping. Sound up and you can hear two different ones.

Orientation flights

Beautiful day. The bees are extremely active today.

Swarm catch

Caught my first swarm today. Thanks to my assistant for noticing them.

Perfect night for oxalic acid vaporization. Gotta keep those pesky varroa mites off my honey bees. Using my high speed vaporizer. I love this thing

Born 10/3/2022. New winter bees. Should live 4-5 months. Such a short life, but summer bees live only 45-60 days. They literally work themselves to death.

My girls are so hungry I had to give them a little snack

One of my new NUC colonies I am growing on top of a strong hive below. A new hatching of bees are coming out for their orientation flight. I have 6 of these coming alone nicely.
