Hive check this morning and it’s going to be a busy few weeks ago. Spring is here, that means lots of splits to help during swarm season. Reaching for the stars this year with the honey crop. 🍯 🐝

Here’s this week’s buzz… 🐝
The wind was blowing and some of the hive told us how they felt about that…
We had to run into the woods several times this day…
We found the queen to the hive we are trying to save. It’s a small colony but we’ve experienced the miracle of growth and prosperity before.

Our granddaughter named our two hive spaces… from the eyes of a four year old we introduce you to Bee Town and Pollen Patty.

On today’s walk about we found a host of muscadine vines behind Bee Town. There’s still so much to learn about our farm.

What’s next? Fall hive maintenance and over winter preparation. Our goal for this coming year is to grow our honey production. This past Spring was a time of growth for our bees colonies. We captured over a dozen swarms which can stall out the honey production process, but grows our bee population.

Where can you find our honey?
Drizzles in Cape Charles, VA.

It’s gotten a bit colder in the season with wonky highs and lows. I have a very special recipe that our bees love. Bee pollen, spearmint and lemongrass are three things we like to boost the feed with to keep our girls healthy all winter long.

Today’s spot the Queen! She’s not marked but definitely stands out in a crowd. 🐝 we will mark her gently and place her back with her attendant bees. It’s always a great inspection day when the hive is thriving, there’s capped brood, honey stores and you find the Queen.
