Another behind the scene project we are always working on. These are wax melters. They melt the wax we collect from the bees when we are checking them. The sun melts the wax and it collects in buckets under the units. We will refine it more before we use it.

It's time to make the heat work for you and make Sun Tea! This also gives me a chance to share with everyone that if you have honey that has granulated, you can put it outside and let the sun melt the crystals to make your honey flow. Once the tea is finished and the honey is hot, add the two together to get your yummy sweet tea.

The bees are adapting well to their new location by the Red River. Some colonies in the yard are producing honey that we will soon enjoy. This location is ideal as long as the river remains within its banks.
