Bees Knees Farm

Bees Knees Farm Local Honey, Sh*take Mushrooms, Bee Nucs and Beekeeping classes Located on 72 acres. WE will be offering subscriptions in 2012.

Dave and Kim Morera are commited to living a low impact lifestyle for 36 years. Due to the BIG changes going on with our farm in 2011 we will not have any CSA subscriptions this year. Dave has been a beekeeper since 1970. While still in high school in California, he kept his own hives and learned composting techniques that turned marginal soil into a rich growing medium. Dave will have limited lo

cally raised Bee nucs for sale in 2012. These bees will not have experienced the stresses of interstate transport and are straight bred, vey calm Italians. They have recently begun construction on a micro house and have just finished a year round greenhouse. Guests aree always welcome (by appointment) to come and watch our progress and get a hands on lesson about Bee culture.

Honey Bees can fly for up to 6 miles and as fast as 15 miles per hour, hence, it would have to fly around 90,000 miles or 3 times around the world to make 1 lb. of honey. It would take 1 ounce of honey, to fuel a Bees flight around the world.
