Jason’s Plan Bee

The first honey extraction of 2026 is done and the honey is going into settling tanks before being bottled. I want to thank everyone that helped out, it is truly amazing how everyone supports us and this business.
At some point I will share my epic failure this year that cost us a lot of honey. As much as I don’t want to tell the story, I think it is important so that other beekeepers don’t make the same mistake. Don’t worry, the bees are still healthy.

The view from the property where the new bee yard will be. A few sunsets will be watched from this spot with Wild Heart Farm Co. and the bees. Life is good!

Robbing season is here. There is not a colony in this box, it is a robbing frenzy from hives nearby. This happened because I left a frame with some nectar in it when I got back from the bee yard yesterday.

Just checking in with an update. Later this week we will start pulling honey supers off. Hopefully the beginning of next week we will begin extracting some of the blackberry honey! Please let me know if you would like to be on the list for some when it is ready! Quarts $25,
Pints $15
Charcuterie size will be $7.
Thank you!

The last several weeks have been insane. The current swarm catch count for 2026 is 65!

Yesterday Scott and I moved our first hive to the farm. This was a tree that was cut down that had a colony living in it. The bees were found on a branch not to far and were moved to a box. This log will be left here to hopefully attract and re-home another swarm.

Scott has been hammering the swarms! This one just swarmed and is moving into the box.

Swarm season has been crazy this year. Scott has been running the the traps and we have caught over 25 so far.
This one showed up yesterday at the farm.

This is a video of a swarm transfer we did last week. This was a small one and should have been put in a smaller box. There was also a sighting of the queen!

We transferred a small swarm from a bait hive. This probably should have gone into a 5 frame Nuc, unfortunately we did not have one with us at the time.

Anyone missing a cat?😂😂😂
We saw this guy on the way out to drop off a hive at one of the yards.
