🐝 Fun Fact Friday: Honey Bee Edition!
These tiny powerhouses are nonstop workers—flapping their wings 230 times per second and visiting up to 100 flowers in a single trip! From carrying loads nearly their own body weight to producing just 1/12 teaspoon of honey in a lifetime, every drop truly is liquid gold.
Bees don’t just work hard—they’re essential for our planet’s survival 🌼
Their incredible sense of smell helps them find flowers miles away 🌿
Without them, our food system and ecosystems would struggle to thrive 🍯
Small creature, massive impact—protect the bees, protect our future. 🐝✨

So peaceful! I love this place!

Got a small swarm today! My Dad, Chuck Crowell, constructed a catcher from a 5 gallon bucket that can be attached to the end of a pole. He was simply a genius! We were able to use it to grab this swarm that was at least 15 ft from the ground - if not 20 ft! We'll see how they do! Thanks to Linda and Kenny Penn for reaching out to us!

Canola fields are so pretty! This is the first year that any has been planted within a few miles of our bees and they sure loved it! Because of the canola, we got our supers on early. Today, we extracted about 50 # of honey from 3 hives. If you have bees near canola, check them often and get the honey extracted as soon as possible - it'll crystallize in the frame.
