In the name of science, a student at Cornell University subjected himself to 190 stings over 38 days to decide the age old question: where IS the worst place to get stung?!

Scroll through for an excerpt about his work from my new book, and comment below so we can settle this one and for all. Where is the worst place to get stung?

All my wannabe herbalists: we are partnering with to bring an herbs and honey class at the Honey ranch!

During this two hour workshop you will will learn more about the medicinal properties of honey, herbs, and will have the opportunity to make your own herbal honey infusion and an electuary honey to take home!

(In case you are new to herbalism like me: an electuary is made by mixing powdered medicinal herbs with honey and is a delicious way to consume beneficial herbs on a daily basis. You can eat a spoonful on its own or mix it into hot tea or coffee!)

Book at link in profile and come learn about herbs with us!

January is a time of introspection for me: thinking back over the last year, and being more intentional (or at least trying!) about what I want to do in the upcoming year.

I thought I’d share my ‘beekeeper resolutions’ with y’all and I’d love to hear yours. For me, I’m hoping to
🌟 better manage my weather anxiety
🌟 rediscover some lost joy
🌟 deepen my beekeeping connections outside of Texas

For my beekeepers, my small business owners, my toddler moms..anyone out here just trying to survive 😆 ...What are you hoping for in 2025? What are you leaving behind in 2024?

WINTER STARVATION IS REAL AND PREVENTABLE.

Normally I don’t get on my starvation soap box until we get into February or later, because colonies left without enough stores tend to be ok until we get into early spring in March and populations explode from early season pollen.

BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT HERE IN TEXAS.

A pathetic spring nectar flow across most of the state, coupled with a tough drought meant few stores to begin with. Then this extra warm weather we have been experiencing means more active colonies continuing to produce brood and larger stores consumption. I saw bees last weekend that had eaten through EVERY ounce of honey and all the sugar we had mountain camp fed the month prior.

Be extra diligent, yall. On our next warm spell of 3+ days, I recommend you check your lightest hives to make sure all is well. You don’t need to do a full inspection, just pop into your honey stores and assess. (If you’re experienced, you may be able to just lift the back of the hives to assess.) Don’t let your bees starve.

What are y’all seeing out there? Did you have a lot of light hives going into winter Done any checks? Share with me what youre seeing and where you are located!

This fall, contacted me about doing an interview on beekeeping. They also asked to send out a photographer, and when the day came, Aidan had to go on a last minute trip out of town. The challenge? Not-so-baby Atlas.
Thinking fast, I asked if he’d be ok letting my littlest beek come along, given we didn’t really have many options 🙈🙈And what started as a tricky day became my favorite photo shoot yet.

If you received last months copy of Texas Coop Power Magazine you saw an awful lot of my hands and fingers, our colleague Michele leading a tour, and an absolutely stunning photo of Atlas doing his favorite part of the beekeeping job 🥰🥰

I’ve been the “star” of the show for a decade, and this photo shoot and resulting article feels like a real passing of the torch moment for both my team and the next gen. I’m not going anywhere, but I’ve never been happier to fade into the background 💕💕

It’s bout to get real wild over here. Bee season is just moments away Beeks-are you ready?!? Buckle up. Here we go 👏👏

Wanna come visit us?!! 😀😀😀

Over ten years ago I was working for the federal government, splitting my time between Washington DC, Austin, and Afghanistan, when I took a chance beekeeping class. To say I was hooked immediately is an understatement. I quit my job within the year, and channeled that passion into what is now Two Hives Honey. Now I get to help make that same magical dream a reality for so many others! From online classes, our immersive apprenticeship program, and my now book, For the Bees, it is my life’s work to find ways to bring some of the joy of bees to you as well. If this is the year you’ve wanting to get into beekeeping, comment below or message me. The best part of my week is when I get to talk with real folks and help them find a way forward. Lets make 2025 your year! #beekeeper #beekeepersofinstagram #beekeeping #twohives #twohiveshoney #urbanbeekeeping #experiencesoverstuff #beelife #beekeepinglife #fortheloveofbees #beekeeping101

This gal fell into it, didn’t she?

Yup. That’s right. With the right tools and skills we can artificially inseminate queen bees. Once reserved for labs and scientific studies, we are starting to see more and more of this activity in breeding programs. Got questions?! I bet you do 😛😛. Give ‘em to me In the comments.

Got a few hives that are heading into winter a little light on honey stores? No shame! It was a HORRIBLE year for honey in Texas (and apparently a lot of the Southeast) and when the weather doesn’t cooperate to provide the resources bees need, this is just one way to provide nutrition to get through those winter months. Bees can’t take sugar water in the colder months, plus breaking into colonies and opening propolis seals to reapply is not a great practice! Also, condensation in a colony in colder months = bad, so this is one way to ensure your bees have the carbs they need to make it through. Have you tried mountain camp feeding before?!
