Midsummer hive walk-around update. We're planning to pull boxes soon for Spring Honey, but we're not expecting much 😕 as seasonal weather has been challenging for the bees. #rawlocal honey #beekeeping #honeybees

After yesterday's microburst (and a LONG power outage at our home) I finally made it down to check on the ladies. They're completely unfazed by this heat and happily flying around looking for whatever nectar wasn't washed out by the rain... But honestly, this year's Spring harvest is looking pretty meager because of the frequent rains. 😕 #beekeeping #honeybees #honey #rawlocalhoney

End of April update
Nectar getting ready to come on strong. Lost one swarm so splitting the rest and that should keep everyone home and ready to rock n' roll making honey. #honeybees #beekeeping #rawlocalhoney

Checked with the hives today and Queen Phyllis swarmed 😬 so we're down to just Queen Meredith and Queen Angela. Phyllis and Angela queens are "in the works" and nectar is coming in on 4 full hives now. #beekeeping #honeybees

Office Queens
Naming our hives by their compass points gets confusing (esp last year when we had 9!), so this year I'm naming the QUEENS instead. I'll have to get better labels but I started with a theme I know my wife will love. @officeladiespod @theoffice #honeybees #beekeeping #theoffice #officeladies

Good morning Honey Lovers! We're set up and ready to go at the NHIPA Spring Craft Fair @ North Hills Middle School until 3pm. We're in the far gym to the middle back 🤙 🐝 🍯

Final approach with the ladies haulin' pollen. Lots coming in during these warm afternoons.

Honey looks and tastes different-- not just season to season, but year to year! Just one of the many fascinating things we ponder as beekeepers. 🤔 #rawlocalhoney #honey #beekeeping #honeybees #springhoney #fallhoney #autumnhoney
