Last week I was in the beautiful town of Bisbee 🥰

It is such a scenic town with all of the mining town atmosphere still in effect. It was really popping in Bisbee! Lots of tourist and they had a music festival the weekend I was there.

We ate and drank at a restaurant called The Table. It was very good! 😋

Life is alright. 🙏🏽 Pray that you are all doing well.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BEES 🐝

As most of you know, I am not only a farmer but a beekeeper, and I want to encourage everyone to look at bees in a new light. Bees are an integral part of the biodiversity on which we all depend for our survival. They provide us with high-quality food, including honey, royal jelly, and pollen, as well as other valuable products such as beeswax, propolis, and even honey bee venom, which has potential medicinal uses.

Sadly, over the past 15 years, colonies of bees have been disappearing, and the reason remains unknown. Referred to as ‘colony collapse disorder’, billions of honey bees across the world are leaving their hives, never to return. In some regions, up to 90% of bees have disappeared!

We can all do our bit to support these brilliant bugs.

Why not plant flowers rich in nectar, such as lavender and bluebells, which will help bees find the food they need? And when you/your family is buying honey, try to choose varieties that are locally made, to support our honey bees and their beekeepers!

Honey bees are nature's unsung heroes, quietly sustaining our food supply and beautifying our surroundings with their vital pollination skills.
Let's celebrate these tiny titans and protect their important work! 🤗🐝🎉🎊🐝🙌🏽

- Beekeeper P 🫶🏽

The more you know:

Honey bees live in hives (or colonies). The members of the hive are divided into three types:

Queen:👸🏽 One queen runs the whole hive. Her job is to lay the eggs that will spawn the hive’s next generation of bees. The queen also produces chemicals that guide the behavior of the other bees.

Workers: 🐝 these are all female and their roles are to forage for food (pollen and nectar from flowers), build and protect the hive, clean and circulate air by beating their wings. Workers are the only bees most people ever see flying around outside the hive.

Drones: 🐝 These are the male bees, and their purpose is to mate with the new queen. Several hundred live in each hive during the spring and summer. But come winter, when the hive goes into survival mode, the drones are kicked out!

If the queen bee dies, workers will create a new queen by selecting a young larva (the newly hatched baby insects) and feeding it a special food called “royal jelly“. This enables the larva to develop into a fertile queen.

Did you know 🤔

Honey bees are incredible flyers!! They fly at a speed of around 25km per hour and beat their wings 200 times per second!

Fun Fact 🤗

Incredible as it may seem, the honey bee has FIVE eyes, two large compound eyes and three smaller ocelli eyes in the centre of its head. Bees' compound eyes help them see color, movement, and patterns, making their eyes most useful when it comes to visualizing and identifying flowers. Honeybees need to be accurate at identifying colors to help them find the right flowers to pollinate.

Long Live the Queen! 👏🏽🙌🏽👸🏽🐝

The average worker bee lives for just five to six weeks while the Queen can live up to five years!! She is busiest in the summer months, when she can lay up to 2,500 eggs a day!

Hail to the Queen! 👸🏽

My Simple Recipe of the Week 😊

Sourdough bread is best for this recipe but use whichever bread you’d like.

Toast bread and brush with olive oil, spread a good amount of room temperature goat cheese or cream cheese, add thinly sliced apple (Granny Smith is good for this recipe) sprinkle chopped pistachios and top with a generous amount of LOCAL raw honey.

Enjoy 💕
