Grafting some queens in the pickup truck. Sorry I don’t think we are going to sell any queens but if you want some 4 frame nucs for $150 we can supply you with those. If you decide to do this you don’t need to get fancy. We graft thousands every year like this. Micheal will have a nice set up in Texas but all of them in Missouri are grafted in my truck.

Almost 600 nucs on the trucks and headed back to Missouri. Contact your local bee supply to see if they carry Golden Rule Nucs because they are almost sold out.

On top of going an entire summer with no mite treatments these breeders produced at least a box of honey. I don’t recommend working bees without a bee suit but these are the gentle bees we strive to have.

Going through our nucs before getting them to our customers this weekend

Been moving a few splits and it’s hard to admire how bright the stars are out here far away from any big city

I love honest people no matter how blunt they are. I gave my long term friend and well experienced beekeeper buddy a few queens to run next to some others he had to compare side by side. I like Pete because he won’t sugar coat a damn thing. He says it how it is and if I wanted honest feedback he would be the man to go to. This is what he sent this morning. Thanks Pete…. I’ll get back to work now 🤣

I couldn't keep my bee hives alive for 3 years, now I have different problems. Don't stress about your bees dying. Take accountability, learn from your mistakes and don't give up.
