🐝 Summer is here and that means the bees are working on fireweed flowers! Our fireweed honey comes from the foothills of Oregon's Cascade Mountain Range.

🔥 Wildfires can be dangerous and damaging to forest landscapes, but some fire is part of a healthy forest ecosystem. Low intensity fires that clear the understory make excellent growing conditions for early seral plants like fireweed.

🍯Fireweed honey is light in color and has very fine crystals when crystalized. Known as the champagne of honeys, its flavor is mild, traditional, delicate, and sweet flavor with just a touch of spice at the finish. Sometimes we run out of fireweed honey, don't miss out on getting a jar this year!

Swarm season is in full swing in the Willamette Valley. There isn't much better than a swarm moving into a hive you acrually want bees in, as opposed to ones in the barn for example. Today we caught a swarm using a lure called Swarm Commander. The scout bees arrived the day before and moved in about 24 hours later.
