Im out mowing our paddock yesterday 9/14 and I drive through what I thought was a lot of flies. Im thinking yuck what's going on when I realize im in the middle of a swarm. The swarm was like 15 feet off the ground so I stopped the mower to see where they wanted to land. Then they went straight for the ground in the exact spot I cut a bramble bush up a couple of weeks ago. This time of year you get more absconding swarms and im thinking I just checked on all the hives a few days ago and everything seems fine. So I watched them land and went up to the shop grabbed a bottom board, a 10f box of drawn comb and a lid. I put the bottom board down and barely put the box on it went they just charged right in. In less then 20 minutes they were all in and I resumed mowing.
After I finished mowing I did a spot check on the hives and all were still filled with bees. Im going to have to feed the heck out of these girls if they have a chance to make it through the winter.

30 grafts are in! 🐝🤞

Now the bees take over. Hopefully they’ll accept all 30 and raise some beautiful new queens. Here’s to a successful grafting round! 👑🍯

Starting the honey extraction process of 2026! 🍯🐝

One tool that’s already making life easier in the honey house is the HillCo Roller Uncapper⁠. This electrically heated uncapper uses heated disk blades to quickly open capped honey cells in a single pass, helping speed up extraction while preserving more of the comb. Because less wax is removed, the bees spend less time rebuilding comb and can focus on making more honey. It’s designed for serious hobbyists and sideline beekeepers looking to process honey faster and more efficiently.

We’re excited to see how much time it saves during this year’s harvest. Stay tuned as we take you through the entire process—from uncapping and extracting to bottling up that golden goodness! 🍯✨

Yesterday, Carter stopped by to help with hive checks in our YC yard and got the chance to mark a few queens. He didn’t mean to put little hearts on them—it just kind of happened! 🤍🐝

Safe to say those queens got a little extra love during their royal makeover. 👑💛

🍯 From spinner to bottle! 🍯

Nothing beats the sound of fresh honey being harvested. Watch as we take this year’s honey from the extractor and turn it into liquid gold, ready for the jar. Pure, local honey straight from our bees to your table!

This honey was extracted from our yard in Wi******er, KY. It has a very good clover taste ❤️
We have some available for purchase in Kentucky and in California! Let us know if you would love to purchase some!
