Crazy Brood Bees

04/13/2026

It's that time of year friends! Got the first swarm call of the year this evening. Although I'm not available to get them, I was able to find another local beekeeper to go help this homeowner out. If you see something like this, don't panic. This is a swarm of honeybees and is perfectly natural. The bees are normally fairly docile in this phase and normally only hang out like this for a few hours up to a day or so. Feel free to call/message me if see this!

As stated, here is a video on installing packages of bees for those interested. This is from 2018, and although I do not buy packages any longer, this is still a popular way to get started in the hobby. Feel free to send any questions. I would like to post a video about swarms and catching them next, but that will require me to make a new video since I don't have one of them in my inventory, we shall see :)

This is the time of year when I get inundated with questions about starting beekeeping. In the absence of time to make new videos, I present to you, a much younger version of myself...haha... explaining beekeeping equipment and packages. Enjoy and feel free to send me any clarifying questions. I will repost a package install as well.

Stayed busy this weekend rendering this past season's wax cappings from our bees and the honey extraction process. Also, made a fresh batch of our honey/wax cream. We go through a lot of this cream this time of year from the weather and hand washing causing our hands to be so dry. Reach out if interested, $10 for the cream. If you have a need for beeswax, reach out for prices! Thanks, its soon time to start playing with the bees again!

Our last batch of honey from 2025 is bottled and ready for purchase. This will be all we have until the end of July or beginning of August. $10 per lb bottle. Thanks again everyone for your support!

Hello friends! Long time no bee talk 😁 So although I haven't been as active with posting updates, the bees are doing what bees do and have made a pretty good crop of surplus honey this season. I have these 1LB jars for sale at $10 each. As always, this is pure raw honey spun straight from the comb. It is a mix of spring and summer honey which is why it is slightly darker. Pick up will be at our home in Hanover. Message with how many you would like and we can work out a pick up time. Thank you!
