It's funny how quick they find any spilled honey. Sprayed out a bucket and poured it on a rock. 10 minutes later they're on it. And it's almost dark.

Quick educational moment on Honey 🐝 🍯

🍯 Did you know that crystallized honey is a GOOD thing?

🍯 Crystallization is a natural process that happens when the sugars in honey form tiny crystals. Causing the honey to look like this picture.

🍯 How to store your honey: in a warm area, avoid cold areas.

🍯 Super Easy to Fix: Place the jar in warm water and gently heat it until the crystals dissolve. Avoid overheating.

🍯 Fun Fact: Different types of honey crystallize at different rates. Some crystallize quickly, while others stay liquid for months!

🍯 Remember: Crystallized honey is still GOOD honey, it also shows that the honey is 110% raw and natural 🙃

When the temperatures drop, no one in our community should have to face the cold alone.

As winter approaches, the Warming Shelter of Franklin County is preparing to once again open its doors and provide a safe, warm place for neighbors experiencing homelessness.

And what happens inside those doors goes well beyond a place to sleep.

Guests receive a warm evening meal and breakfast, clean bedding, showers, toiletries and, most importantly, a welcoming place to spend the night with dignity.

That work takes resources, volunteers and a community willing to step up.

This Saturday, October 10, you can help simply by showing up hungry.

The Warming Shelter Fish Fry begins at 10:30 a.m. at AutoZone in Rocky Mount and continues until sold out.

A full plate with fried fish, baked beans, slaw and bread is $12. Fish sandwiches are $8. Cash only.

Grab some lunch, support a great local cause and help make sure the Warming Shelter can continue opening its doors when our neighbors need it most.

Sometimes taking care of a community starts with something as simple as taking care of one another.

Borrowed but so true....

There’s something about being a beekeeper that’s hard to explain to someone who has never stood beside a hive.

It’s the early mornings and late evenings. The sweat dripping inside your veil. The sting you didn’t see coming. The equipment that always seems to need fixing. The endless decisions, the failures, the victories, and the constant wondering if you’re doing enough.

You can spend hours caring for a colony and still walk away wondering if you missed something.

You celebrate when they thrive. You worry when they struggle. You lose sleep over colonies that aren't doing well. And when one doesn't make it, you feel that loss more deeply than most people would ever understand.

Because somewhere along the way, these little insects stop being livestock on a spreadsheet.

They become something you care about.

Beekeeping will humble you. It will frustrate you. It will challenge everything you think you know.

But it will also teach you patience, resilience, observation, and respect for something far greater than yourself.

And maybe that's why we keep doing it.

Not because it's easy.

Not because it always makes money.

But because there is something incredibly special about opening a hive, hearing that familiar hum, and knowing that you're helping keep something extraordinary alive.

To all the beekeepers out there still learning, still failing, still trying, still getting stung, and still showing up tomorrow—

Keep going.

You're not the only one. 🐝❤️
