Beekeeping proves to be interesting and difficult at times. Rewarding - certainly! We happened to check yesterday to discover the hive had turned against the queen and she was nearly dead. Thankfully, we were able to obtain a new mated queen and introduce her today. Sure enough - they had finished off the old one. #beekeeper #bees #queen #mated #honeybee #ohio #hive
Some like it HOT!! Pizza drizzle, wing dip, pour over cream cheese for pretzels or crackers and more! Sure to tingle the taste buds. #ghostpepper #hot #honey #spicy #sweet #local #beekeeper

Mite treatments. The varroa mite is one of the leading causes of bee decline. So… we treat. #beekeeper #beehive #honeybee #bees #varroa #honey #ohio #beekind #mentalhealth #removal #horse #farm

G spot B spot hive check and treatment
Christian & Natalya joined us again today @tremontgoodieshop Bee The Change Apiary. The hives are good, we were treating for mites and putting in small hive beetle traps. #beekeeper #beehive #honeybee #bees #bethechange #honey #ohio #beekind #mentalhealth #sweet #treats
Dead ☠️ Varroa Destructor Mites. The Wasserstrom apiary was being over ran, and 1 hive didn’t make it. So, we invested in an Instavap from @foxhoundbeeco and treated with oxalic acid. This was a bottom board the next day. Fast and effective! The hive will be replaced with another soon. #savethebees #beekeeping #ohio #bees #mites #dead #bugs #notalwayspretty

@5beancoffee hive check. The Honey Hotel is struggling 🤷🏻♀️🫤 but the Honey Hostile is good! We’ll be getting a new queen for the Hotel and let Beeyonce try again. #beekeeper #beehive #honeybee #bees #bethechange #honey #ohio #beekind #mentalhealth #coffeeshop #ohio
Horse farm hive check - and again the spice girls got a sting in! At the end, Keith took one straight to the face! #beekeeper #beehive #honeybee #bees #bethechange #honey #ohio #beekind #mentalhealth #horse #farm
@dgiannaris @greekjgg hive check!QE2 is rocking it!! #beekeeper #beehive #honeybee #bees #bethechange #honey #ohio #beekind #mentalhealth #gspot #yellow #queen #bee
Honeycomb is so cool! While we love foundation to make collecting honey easier - Freeform comb is way more interesting!! #beekeeper #bees #honeybees #honeycomb #wax #funny #face #natural
@5beancoffee both hives are looking good! The hostile is. Ranking some honey!! The hotel has a queen cell ready to hatch. 🤪
But, still doing well! #beekeeper #beehive #honeybee #bees #bethechange #honey #ohio #beekind #mentalhealth #coffeeshop
A hive from a recent cutout absconded this week… upon looking closer… hive beetles!!! Too many!! So, here’s our solution. Fire 🔥 we took all the comb from the cutout away from the apiary, we already had used diatomaceous earth around the other boxes to prevent “things” from spreading. #beekeeping #beekeepers #problem #bugs #fire #burnitdown
