New hive is up and bees have been moved in! 🍉🍉 (W**d whacked after so they weren't extra sassy for inspection)

Inspections, mite treatments, testing nettle smoke for mite treatment on one hive after reading a promising study.... grafting queen cells tomorrow 💛🐝

Top bar frames and foundationless brood frames give bees the chance to build comb the way nature intended. Letting bees draw their own brood comb can support healthier hive behavior, natural cell variation, and stronger colony expression.

Over time, wax absorbs pesticides, miticides, and environmental chemicals. It can also harbor fungal spores and disease pathogens. Old dark brood comb may look productive, but it can quietly become a storage site for years of contamination.

That’s why rotating equipment and cycling out old brood comb matters. My intentions with my horizontal hive is to provide top-bar frames for their brood body (where they raise baby bees) that will be rotated out each season (a few frames a year) and they'll draw out fresh wax as they build spring population. The cordage is soaked in beeswax and put on the bottom of the bar to give them a guide of where to build their comb that will be more manageable for me.

I still plan to use plastic frames for the honey frames as they are easier for collection and spinning.

Excited to see how it all works out! 💛🐝🍯

Building a horizontal hive together even though he thinks it's a bad idea. My favorite thing about beekeeping is trying new things...changing things, playing with ideas, and learning something new each season 💛🐝

He can have the commercial uniform mindset (it obviously makes more sense) but I love that I still get to explore beekeeping of my own.

🌿🍯 Introducing the NEW Hive & Forage Creamed Honey Line 🍄✨

We’re so excited to finally share what’s been brewing in the bee yard and apothecary…
Our handcrafted creamed honey collection is here — infused with thoughtfully chosen mushrooms and herbal blends designed to nourish, comfort, and elevate your daily rituals.

Each jar starts with raw, small-batch honey from our hives, slowly creamed into a smooth, spreadable texture and paired with functional ingredients inspired by nature’s medicine cabinet. Think cozy mornings, intentional moments, and a spoonful of something that feels both grounding and indulgent.

🌿 Carefully selected herbs
🐝 Raw local honey
✨ Small batch crafted

Whether you stir it into tea, spread it on warm sourdough, add it to oatmeal, or enjoy it by the spoonful, this line was created to bring together the beauty of herbalism and the magic of the hive.

Come see us today at Shady Acres Market LLC for the Night market 4pm - 8pm. Talk bees with us, sample some creamed honeys and ghee, and play with some of our wax wraps!
