Our cousin Rita sent us a text yesterday that they had a swarm. We caught them and today they are settling into their new home in Tennessee City. Rain is not the best time to set up a hive, but as long as they didn’t mind, we didn’t mind. They were already building wax in the Nuc box they stayed in overnight, so they seem to be energetic and ready to work. 🤞🐝🐝

🐝 A bee may be small… but its impact is massive.

Behind every blooming field, every piece of fruit, and every meal on our table is the quiet work of bees. Moving from flower to flower, they’re not just gathering nectar — they’re keeping entire ecosystems alive.

But while bees keep the world going, their own survival is getting harder.

Pesticides. Habitat loss. Changing environments.

What they give never stops… but what they’re given in return is fading.

🌍 If bees disappear, it’s not just flowers that suffer — it’s our food, our wildlife, and the balance of life itself.

Protecting bees isn’t just about saving one species…
it’s about protecting everything that depends on them — including us.

Because when we protect bees, we protect the future.

Our girls are buys! We did lose 3 hives due to the very cold snap we had last winter. These girls (Tennessee City Apiary) are doing great. The Hickman (Nunnelly) are working hard as well.

One of the girls out working today. Sorry for the blurry pictures. She was moving fast and it was windy.

"Cheap honey isn't real honey; real honey isn't cheap" - Norma May Honey

These words are so true. Our honey is based on $1 a pound (honey weight). We are not in the beekeeping business to get rich, we are in the beekeeping business to provide a high quality product, honey, and in the future, beeswax candles.

Reminder - we are sold out of 2025 honey. Next honey harvest will be July 2026. Thanks so much for purchasing our honey.
