We've been busy bees this year, and seemed to have neglected this page a little.

I'll try and catch you all up with some posts.

Stay tuned.

So you're a beekeeper, and you've made some honey... maybe even some wax. Now what?
Sara will be at the IHPA Field day talking about how to market & sell your honey (and other related products).

This is a beautiful yard. Many will probably disagree...
But this yard is providing food to the bees. Dandelions are the first food source for the bees of the season. Not to mention they are edible for humans and extremely nutritious & have many health benefits.
Grow food, not lawns. 🐝

Nuc pickup weekend for Elkhart is May 6th and 7th. 7am to 10am at The Holton Homestead

We hope you're as ready as these bees are!
