5 Acre Farms North Georgia Apiary, Bee Keeping, and Honey Farm.

10/02/2026

The bees are loading up their stores for winter and it looks like all our eyes are doing very well after a long, hot summer.

We are feeding them now, heavy with sugar water for them to build up their winter reserves, and the queen is now starting to make their nurse bees for the winter to help maintain the hive.

These European hornets are nasty and invasive.

They are 3x the size of honey bees and they pick them off one at a time and they kill them and bring them back to their nest to eat.

Whenever we see them flying around our hives, we go out with flyswatters or anything that can get the job done and kill as many as possible. I throw them into the hives so the bees learn to defend against the European hornets.

One of the coolest things about honeybees is that they are the ultimate cleanup crew.

After we finish extracting honey, there’s always a little honey left behind on the equipment, floors, and surfaces. Instead of spending hours trying to clean up every sticky drop, we simply open the door to the honey house and let the bees do what they do best.

Within a short time, they'll find every last bit of honey and clean it up better than we ever could. Not a drop goes to waste.

It's a pretty amazing reminder that bees are incredibly efficient creatures. Everything they do has a purpose, and they waste nothing. 🐝🍯

Pulled off all the rest of the Honey today….probably a week too late, but we were out of the country for two weeks so we’ll see how much Honey we have left and see how much the bees have started to dig into their own supply now that the nectar flow has finished for the summer.

Once we pull off all the Honey, I will start feeding the bee sugar water because it has been a really dry spring and want to give them some fuel and energy to hopefully replenish some of their stores before the winter.
