New series of books coming to beekeeping: The Mentor Series
New series of books coming to beekeeping: The Mentor Series
When it comes to how-to books, I’m a BIG fan. Especially when they’re beekeeping books, and there’s plenty of them. I have bought quite a few books on Beekeeping, and checked out several from the library. And just like everything in life, there’s some good ones and some not-so-good ones. It’s redundant to find book after book with the same BASICinformation on hive tools, hive beetle, etc. So as…

Honey bees up close: Macro Photography
Honey bees up close: Macro Photography
I have never considered photography as a thing for me. When it comes to artwork, I usually prefer mediums like graphite, oil paint, or even watercolor. And though I still like all of those things, I’m finding that my love for honey bees and honey bee forage plants have combined to make a superpower: Honey bee Macro photography! Which pretty much means really close up pictures of wee little bees.

Why you should NOT feed pollen supplements in Winter 🥶
Why you should NOT feed pollen supplements in Winter 🥶
As Keepers of the bees, we have the inherit instinct to take care of our ‘girls.’ Winter time is possibly the time that many of us worry about them the most. And this totally makes sense; we haven’t popped a hive cover in weeks or even months, we don’t know how fast they’re consuming their winter stores and we worry whether they will have enough. It can be more than a little nerve-racking. The…

Paint your Beehives with the Best, non-toxic paint
Paint your Beehives with the Best, non-toxic paint
When I was in commercial beekeeping, each year brought with it the chores of building new hive bodies and honey supers. I watched as each new box was dipped in a copper solution mixed with paint thinner. After the boxes were drip-dry, each one had to be painted with an outdoor latex-based paint on the exterior. The copper preserved the wood and kept termites at bay while the latex paint protected…

How to One-Up your Beekeeping Game
How to One-Up your Beekeeping Game
One thing I believe that all beekeepers can agree on is the excitement we feel when the spring season begins. We love to see that our little bees are ‘waking up’ and venturing out after so many months. OH! And they’re bringing in pollen! Where did they get that from? Is it not too cold still? Those little girls never cease to amaze us. Well, wherever it came from it makes us happy because spring…

The Cornerstone of Saving the Bees: Local Beekeepers and their Supporters.
The Cornerstone of Saving the Bees: Local Beekeepers and their Supporters.
Wouldn’t it be sweet if the phrase, ‘Save the Bees,’ soon changed to ‘Saved the Bees?’ Imagine if every town, village, and city had enough beekeepers who were keeping beehives using natural practices. What would that look like? For starters, I can picture more trees, bushes, flowers, and herb gardens specifically planted to support honey bees and all pollinators.
This was my very first…

Weeds are Wildflowers, let them Bee. Part 2
Weeds are Wildflowers, let them Bee. Part 2
There are several sounds that a beekeeper loves to hear and one that they do not. The sound that beekeepers do not like to hear is the busy buzzing of honey bee wings telling the beekeeper, ‘Goodbye, alas we shall see you no more.” That’s right, it’s the sound of a swarm. Fortunately, today we are talking about the sounds that beekeepers dolike, which is when the blossoms are buzzing happily with…
