In August 2012, beekeepers in northeastern France found themselves facing an unexpected challenge. Their bees, typically producers of beautifully golden honey, started bringing back nectar that turned their honey blue and green. The source of these surprising colors was traced back to a nearby M&M’s factory. This factory had been disposing of leftover sugary residues from candy production in a way that attracted the bees. Lured by the sugary waste, the bees added it to their nectar collection, resulting in honey tinged with the artificial dyes from the candy.
Though still sweet, the oddly colored honey couldn’t be sold, putting the beekeepers in a difficult position. This incident shed light on the broader issue of industrial waste's impact on local ecosystems and underscored the need for responsible waste management. In response, the biogas plant processing the candy waste took steps to prevent bees from accessing it in the future, safeguarding both the local honey production and the health of the bees, which are crucial pollinators for the area.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mothers out there.

Yesterday, I was honored to be able to teach at a preschool in Round Rock, Tx. These amazing 5 year olds were so attentive. They asked questions and told me stories. When I’m not in a bee hive, there is nothing I’d rather be doing then teaching kids about bees. It was such a special day for them and I hope they will remember it when they are older. But the note that they all signed… hit me right in the feelers. I can’t wait to frame it with the group photo. There is nothing I enjoy more than talking about bees, and when I can give back to our community and surrounding communities at the same time… it’s such a blessing.

For the first time in the history of Jackass Honey Farms, we had the pleasure of hosting and teaching these young homeschoolers about honey bees. They even got to puff our smoker that we use on the bees.The amount of information about bees that these kids already knew was amazing. The observation hive was a huge hit. This was such an amazing and humbling experience and one memory that I will cherish forever.
