Hogtown Honey

Hello! Welcome to Hogtown Honey's reel of all the best bee/pollination related things on the interwebs, as well as the occasional update about our adventures in urban beekeeping. Who are we? Hogtown Honey is a bunch of bees, and their keepers, hanging out on rooftops in Toronto. We teach natural urban beekeeping workshops, and make small-batch, hyper local honeys from the neighbourhoods of our city.

I love that bees have such a presence in childhood stories and cartoons and pop culture. But guys, that has to be a wasp nest. Bees just don't make their homes in round papery shapes.

Honeybee! The drawing was commissioned as a tattoo a while back, finally finished coloring it up. Please respect my client who paid for this, and do not use it as a tattoo yourself!

I just read that honeybees do something called a tremble dance. How cute is that?
