It’s stupid hot out here but bees are growing and looking respectable 🥵

Y’all, I know we haven’t posted in awhile about our honey but yes we do still have it 🙂

We currently have Orange Blossom in the self serve honey box in 1 lb bottles. We can supply honey in bigger quantities but you’d have to schedule a pick up for that.

We have also updated our sign to now accept Cashapp & Zelle, along with cash or PayPal.

Nothing like a new smoker! I don’t believe there’s another company with a better smoker than Dadant.

Feeding cell builders this morning, raising Queen bees takes alot of commitment and no cut corners to make a quality product.

03/19/2022

Always feels good to send some quality bugs off to their new home 🐝🐝🐝

03/16/2022

Good cells and good brood 👍

03/09/2022

Caging queens and can’t help but admire these new queens work.

What a great sight to see after getting a hard freeze and thinking this years orange bloom wasn’t going to happen!

We haven’t posted in awhile as we have been busy getting matings nucs stocked and in full swing with grafting. Here are some of our first 2022 queen cells and brood patters of our breeders.

Hooked up some red L.E.D lights yesterday. Makes me want to move some bees!

11/21/2021

Wax chores almost finished, definitely looking for new ways to render wax. Thinking about going with some infrared heaters over top the barrel of cappings… open to suggestions smells lovely

Still getting queens mated here in central FL , we are enjoying learning how to work with these mini mating Nucs. Overall happy with how they perform.

10/22/2021

We are busy moving bees inland to get on golden rod. Bees don’t make any surplus but they pack on a little extra weight before they go totally on welfare for winter months.

10/21/2021

Who else hates spiders! Especially big nasty brown recluse spiders

Nice looking Nucs coming on strong with lots of sealed brood.

10/01/2021

Boxes are becoming heavy quickly now as the honey flow intensifies!

09/29/2021

Decided to make a change from plastic cups to wax cups. So far I am loving the results!

09/29/2021

The first 2 mating Nucs put into service were successful. We have built just over 200 and will continue building through Fall/Winter in preparations for spring 22’. Looking to push this part of the business harder in the coming seasons! We have been selling queens on smaller scales for the past few years as more of a side hustle being primarily a pollination and honey production services. We are very thankful for the loyal customers we have the pleasure of doing business with and look forward to meeting new ones!
