OK Friends. Honey season is upon us. The Bees are putting up nectar like crazy now. However I must inform everyone that due to my most recent heart surgery in January, My 4th in 9 years, and rapidly declining health I have had to downsize my hives. I will eventually stop keeping them as well. It saddens me but I have to do what's best for my health. That being said. I will have limited quantities this year. We will also have some comb available. We will be doing more items that are popular as well. Lip balms, soaps, candles, elderberry syrup and some organic pears preserve's like Pear honey & Vanilla pears off our trees. May even do some Blackberry syrup this year. Stay tuned and we will keep you posted. Also we plan on having a liter of AKC Golden Retrievers this summer as well. It saddens me that my health dictates this as I really enjoy Beekeeping but I have to do what's right. I will post when the honey is available for sale. Most likely about 4 weeks from now. But the Bees dictate this not me. Thanks for all your support and we look forward to having some great spring honey this year in limited quantities.

We kicked off the season with a great class at Grant's Creek Nursery. It was so fun.

Not all plants are beneficial.

Did you know?🧐 Finding out that not all flowers are good for bees sparked a lot of conversation.

First of all, our recent post about yellow jasmine (aka Carolina jessamine) was NOT a post calling for the eradication of this native plant.

We wanted shed light on the fact that this plant is toxic to honey bees, humans, and other vertebrates.

It’s such a pretty, sweet smelling flower that many people don’t know it’s actually poisonous if ingested.

Secondly, native bees vs non native bees and native plants vs non native plants is not the “issue” we want to focus on. Lack of forage for all pollinators, overuse of pesticides and herbicides, and bee diseases are things worth discussing.

If you have suggestions of things you’d like to see on this page, please reach out to us! We just ask that you read our posts in their entirety and take a deep breath before coming for us in the comments. 🐝

We have made some right pretty Ederberry syrup. Very limited quanity. Organic Elderberrys and raw Freddy Carter Farms honey are the only two ingredients. Great for colds and flu. It's not a pancake syrup. It's more like an elixir you take a couple teaspoons a day when your feeling sick or as a preventative measure. Reach out to us ASAP before it's all gone.

Syrup bottles just came in. We will have 8oz bottles of Elderberry syrup ready this weekend. Just in time for the Flu season. Message us to reserve yours ASAP. Organic elderberries grown right here on our property.

It's National Pulled Pork Day and we're celebrating the delicious fall favorite that's enjoyed in a variety of ways. What's the key to the perfect pulled pork? Honey! Did you know that honey helps to lock in the natural juices of your cooked meats to ensure they don't dry out? Try it out this season in our Honey Balsamic Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Tenderloin! https://buff.ly/3EhFk1m

Thinking of our bee keeper family's in Florida and South Carolina.

Our thoughts are with Florida and South Carolina beekeepers as they assess damage from Hurricane Ian. Beekeepers, please remember to check with your local FSA office for any programs that might be helpful after this disaster.
