Two Reasons to Swarm Like us, bees need space in which to live their lives. They need a place to raise brood, to store honey, pollen and more. In spring and summer, a colony can expand quite dramatically, both in numbers and in the space needed.  When space starts becoming too limited, bees need a ...

I got my 2nd swarm in 3 days. Much sharper pic than last time.

It’s swarm season!!
Looks like they picked a bad day to swarm. Rain, sun, more rain… the weather helped keep them from getting away.

I was able to get them into a small hive in the dark last night 👍🏻

When it’s pretty cold out overnight, gotta improvise… One hive in the house to keep the 🐝 warm.

Great info to understand and identify the differences between yellow jackets and bees.

Yellowjackets (Vespula spp.) are attracted to human food. They become a nuisance at picnics. Use lure traps to reduce the number of yellowjackets in outdoor areas. Stay away from their nests to avoid being stung. Depending on the species of yellowjacket, the nest can either be above ground or underg...

Don't throw out your crystallized honey. Eat it. It's delicious and perfectly safe.

***SOLD OUT***

Sold the last jars of honey today. Wow 50 gallons and it’s all gone. Crazy!

The crystals are coming. If you want something that stays on your biscuit or is easy to measure, semi crystallized honey is perfect. We have found that a lot of people prefer it over liquid honey because it’s less messy. We are down to our last case of quart and pint jars, then it’s gone again until late August.

Sold some honey today and met some really nice folks. Thank you to all the crew !!

That was really fast!

Thank you Oregon for supporting the Pollinator Paradise License plate. We have reached our sales goal of 3,000 presale vouchers and are not taking additional orders at this time. Still want your own plate? No need to worry. Successfully meeting our sales goal means that these beautiful plates will be available at Oregon DMV locations once plate production has been completed. We expect this process to take 4-6 months. Want to be notified when plates are available (or how we will be releasing low numbers 00001-00020)? Please do not contact the DMV, but sign up here to get a notification: https://beav.es/5jC

Though winter-flowering plants grow in the wild, many pollinators don’t live near them. That makes using cultivated winter bloomers an important consideration when planning a garden.
