Honey extracting if officially done for the year. Now it’s time to get these beautiful ladies picked up and taken south! Praying they stay strong and healthy this winter!
P.S. I’m talking about the bees… not the cows. 😜

It is that time of year again… the last month the yellow jackets have come out like starving bears out of hibernation. Just a reminder that the yellow jackets are NOT bees they are wasps! I hear people call them bees constantly… they may look similar to people… but they are nothing like honey bees. Top three photos are yellow jackets bottom photos are our honey bees. Poor bees get a bad rep from these mean bullies! Just a clarification… yellow jackets are wasps… not bees. 🐝 😎 🐝

Frequently asked questions in the fall, especially if it’s hot and/or dry, “the bees are getting into my livestock tank, pool, hot tub, etc. What do I do?” It’s super easy. Let me show you. This is the first time they’ve ever went to my horses stock tank to get water. But it’s super easy to fix. Before the tank was even full both the horses were drinking with no issues with the bees. Hopefully this helps anyone who has this going on. 👍🏻
